I have kept one for a year when I was in the States. Awesome animals, really smart and very manageable with regular attention, mine learned to eat out of a plate easily.

I hope yours will be a much much longer relationship. Awesome!

I had to do some cage remodeling, so I thought I would snap up a few photographs for everyone.

He wasn't too enthralled that I had to take him out. He was happy when he thought it was feeding time, but alas, it was not.

And here are a few more.




Stalking the stalk stalk.





Enjoy.

If only they'd stay that size :sarcasm: but either way, that's one cute beast you got there

Thanks!

Thank you very much. though it looks like he's trying to plot his escape staring at the curtains like that!

He probably is plotting.....crocodilians are the most intelligent of the herps after all .

Have you tried regular handling yet? How does he respond?

I have been handling him quite often. Now he has grown attatched! He cries for me until I come in the room and then he's quiet. But as soon as I start to leave the room he starts up with his crying again.

Though he has grown accustom to me, he goes after everyone else. Do you know if this is normal?

Thats really cute....i had a deer fawn that acted like that.

I would not be surprised one bit if that guy can recognize individual humans.

I've heard of other reptiles recognizing certain people and disliking others, but not crocodilians.

FYI I've never kept crocodilians. I love them to death though!

Just because you've never owned one doesn't mean you don't know things about them.
He even lets me "scratch" under his chin and he closes his eyes all contently. But you bet your rump that if someone else tries it he snaps at them and bites.

that's awesome with the chin scratching. i saw an american alligator that enjoyed that too. he made a burping sound when pet!

 

[InvertFix]

Yeah this guy yips when I scratch his chin. It's so cute.

Cool it sounds like he's imprinted on you. What's underneath Whomper's tank btw, looks intersting.
