Croc keepers, STEP UP!

Well mine is only 21" so that makes difference. Its not a 5' or larger croc
 
nothing wrong with that. Claudia ate half of her feeders and left the rest alone. now i got a few pushing 6". she will love them when she eats them.

This is not coming from me, this is from someone on another site and this is what they state

"I've seen what comes out the butt end of a good sized caiman and/or a larger turtle and no mechanical section of an aquarium filter is going to help that....let alone the bio. It has to be physically removed. Then, until it is physically removed from either the water or the filter ( this applies to fish tanks also) it's still affecting water quality.

Then most reptiles are only fed 2 or 3 times a week, so you would have low bio-filter bacteria, so you would end up with a NH3 spike shortly there after.... a bio really couldn't the surge.

But as far as the critter is concerned it really doesn't matter...NH3 or NO2 at 3ppm forever would have no affect on a turtle or a caiman as long as the bacteria CFU's were kept low. .

I've seen turtles and caiman, by the dozens, sitting in water that was stagant and they couldn't care less. They'd stay there till the flesh rotted off them or they just get out of it.
.
There is no need, in fact it's a waste of time, even if you're not doing daily water changes, to try and have nitrification taking place. "


This is me typing again, I think a lot of this info is false myself, but I have never owned a large aquatic reptile. can anyone who does comment on this?

I think this is to the point. My large turtles are kept solely with water changes.
