No crocodilians here. They just arent for me. Another animal I can get my fix of at work and not have to have at home. As neat as they can be sometimes, they arent suited to many keepers, myself included in that I'll stick to my snakies

That is the most problem with the crocodilian species. They either get to big or too mean. I have 0.1.4 of American Alligators and 0.2 of Spectacled caimans. The caimans I hope to place, as they were rescues. The gators I plan on keeping, 2 of them were rescues. Here is my biggest (around 5 feet) one:

This was taken 1 month after I rescued her. She was in bad shape as far as scale fungus. It is all cleared up and she is doing great. I have done quite a few educational programs with her. She is always a big hit!!!! My next size would be around 2 feet:

I just rescued this one on 9/7/02.
I will have plenty of space for the gators when they get bigger. I plan on building a bigger pen this winter for the bigger gator.
Just be careful of the caimans they are nasty!!!! They will rip you open guicker than anything. And do not let their size full ya, they are tough!!! A 3 foot caiman can throw you off, if you are around 160-190 LBS. The 2 I have are very nasty!!!! If if you work with them they still are!!! There is no taming them, at least with my experience with them.
Here is a Photo Gallery you might be interested in.

I agree totally with u on the caimen part .. Love those gators though . They look really nice .. are they housed together or seperatly?

i'd love to keep crocs, but as mentioned above i can't commit to the longevity or the space required to keep adults. luckily i work at reptilia and get to work with a 7ft american aligator and 5 3ft speckies. love every minute of it especially the aligator.
