ur not gonna find any crocs...or alligators(maybe if ur lucky).... ur best bet is caimans.....if ur luckin for a good starter then go with the cuviers dwarf caiman...they stay about 4-5 feet..but there also not very cheap....if u want the cheapest species(but also dumbest) then go with a spec caiman...they go for about 125$ but they also get 8 feet and meen as hell!!!!

my 2 cents

I disagree. Spectacle caimans are very smart animals, seem so smarter than a saltwater crocodile and possibly more so than my niles. Alligators are not exactly ******** either, just a bit lazy.
It all intertwines..

I've never worked with Tiger snakes..

Before getting into any crocodilians, please recognize their size potential, danger potential and all of their requirements to a T. They are something you will really have to commit your time, and especially money to.

Do you have your own home?

These are not small animals, and they're no pushovers. They can be quite spirited and aggressive. They should have lots of space.

If you don't have your own home, and live with your parents or rent, can you guarantee that you'll be able to provide the animal with a home for the duration of its life?

You could have a very hard time unloading an adult specimen if you are forced to move to a place that isn't suitable.

I keep hearing about people killing their animals by sticking them in a freezer when they get too big. That's just wrong.

Don't take offense. I just want to make sure you've thought it through.
