Very unusual choice, and each to their own, but these belong in the wild in my opinion. If it grows to 5 foot and will only be in a tank 4 times its size, do you not think thats a bit cruel mate? It wont have much of a life will it. Especially if its never going to be able to come out the tank?

No, wild rabbits are a constant headache for farmers and most consider them vermin. None are too cute to feed to my ferrets! Except maybe young uns.......they can wait until they've more meat on them!

I avoided running one over the other night and i honestly stopped and thought shit i could of had that for the ferrets!!!!

Jacko, i'm with you on this. My mrs has always thought i was mental for wanting a dwarf croc. I'm a long way off having enough room or money for one though. Crocs and gators fascinate me for some reason. I can't wait until i can afford to see some in the wild. Make sure you get us some pics when you've got it.
