Lol, gets as big as a croc, more expensive to house, more expensive to feed haha!-)
Well maybe not, DWA licence can very from £150-£1k and that's yearly, then you got housing which is both an aquarium and a land section, with an air temp of around 28-30°c basking up to mid 30's on top of that I would say the 260G is the minimum for any think we can get which is mainly caiman. Caiman are cheap but not what I wanted hahaha chines or African croc which range from 200-1000 each. That before the cost of all the security, for both the croc and the building. All year round heating, up grade for the size ( twice the size of a fish the same length for land and water) then feeding, finding someone down here to help move it around when tank need maintained etc the inspection for a pet shop licence were bad enough but they are rothless when it comes to DWA, you have to set it all up before then my they can come round and say no and that's it (dose depend a lot on local council) and then they can send a twat from the RSPCA ( no offence but the ones in UK are uneducated right wing idiots that willingly take reptiles from knowledgeable people and then rehome them with people who have no clue) round when ever they like to inspect most don't even know what they looking at lol. I worked slot with crocs and venomous when I was doing reptiles the headache it can be is just not akways worth it.
The cat dose need large quarter and lots of food, but it's pretty much cold water, a good insulated shed and a bar heater for winter should be OK, tank is expensive but you get time out of them and until it need final size they are upgrades for the dovii. Feeding is lots of massivore and fish so fairly easy for wife when work are nice enough to send me away lol
On top of all that crocs aren't that rare in the UK if you can get a licence I can source one in a few day/weeks but how many people have a 4ft Goonch in 20year the first time I seen them for sale I brought one hahaha
