Crocodile

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What type of croc? You are going to need a lot of space for a croc. A caiman would be a better idea.
 
he will be 1-2 feet by next year, and in about 5 years he will be 6-7 feet and a lot of animal to work with
 
American alligators will be at least 2 feet in the first 12 months. With in three or four years, you'll need a HUGE space for it. American's are known to be well over 10 feet and can peak out at several hundred pounds.
 
well if you really want one, you better have to room for one, that's a give me, but the other thing is what are you going to feed it.. I had an american alligator, I got it at 18 inches. I had it in a 30 long until I was going to get the indoor pond set-up. it out grew that tank so fast, I probably shouldn't have even put it in there to begin with, but it was for only about 3 weeks, and I would bring it out for walks everyday.. Now for food I fed mine raw steak. I would feed him about every 5 days, and at first it wasn't bad about 1/4 pound at a time, well after 8 months, I was getting to move, and by this time he was already 32" and was eating a pound of food a week.. so they do grow fast...

if you do decide to get one, fed raw meat only if the water is over 78 degrees, or they won't digest it properly..

under 78 fed like chicken gizerts, or livers.

here's a link if you really want to buy one..

and one last thing, remember they do climb. so you will need a top on the tank or pond or whatever you decide to put them in...
