Does anyone remember the grizzlyman?
Re: Who said Crocs don't make good pets?
You've got to be kidding me! For some reason I have a feeling his days are numbered :D
Re: Who said Crocs don't make good pets?
"but....he was so tame. I can't imagine why he would bite his head off"
Roy is probably shaking his head at this too
Re: Who said Crocs don't make good pets?
It says he got shot in the eye but it doesnt say much else about the injury and how significant it was. He could of had some kind of brain damage or something. And not really be all there. Thats the only thing I can think of. I know alligator adventure has a pretty tame croc but I dont think anyone there would jump in the water with it.

exactly what I was thinking, but at least this guy isn't dumb enough to think he can swim with ALL the crocs in the world, just this one he's spent a bunch of time with.
Re: Who said Crocs don't make good pets?
Pretty cool story, but not that unbelievable. That's an American Crocodile in Costa Rica which are quite a bit more shy/docile than old world crocs, even though they can still get pretty big. ;)
Re: Who said Crocs don't make good pets?
At the alaska state fair there was a reptile exhibit, and they did shows where one of the animals they showed off was a 5-6 foot gator. Not huge, but big enough to do damage if it got annoyed.
They let kids hold it, and the gator didn't even have its mouth restrained, as is often the case when letting the public handle crocodilians.
The alligator was incredibly well behaved, more than I could ever have imagined.

That is truly amazing. I'm reminded of the reports of snakes that refuse to eat a mouse once, and then will never eat it, even after they get hungry and eat OTHER mice, until it's been removed and then returned again later.
Whatever mechanism causes that may be at work here...if so, this guy better never go on vacation. lol
