I'd feel bad for the idiot who tries to rob their house.
burglars sneaks into the house: Aw yeah that wasn't hard at all.. Guess that's what happens when you don't own a dog (5 seconds later) ohh.... sh*t...
Take the t...... AHHHHHH THERE IS A FUCKING CROCODILE IN THE HOUSE!!!
Damon Tafoya I feel bad for the croc he don't belong in a house, he needs to be out with the other crocs in the water and his environment! Sad sad sad

Introverts be like: imma get an alligator so no one ever comes over
I guess I have invisible alligator with me from birth
I would only get a pet alligator for an emotional support animal

Thats actually a good idea. Wish me luck taming this ancient beast

GermantecaHD thats a BIRD get ur facts straight noob
Nope
Thats a rocket launcher
Or maybe im wrong
That could be a gold fish
Bro its obviously a dinosaur
Naw thats a sex doll
I'd pay a lot of money to see the look on the face of any poor fool who tries to break into that house
I know right!?!? that would make my day to see their lives at stake
+The Scarecrow crocodile* this guy grows like 2 times (8 meters) as big as an avarage alligator (4-5 meters)

Deathgun Red-eyed Sterben "beware of guard saltwater crocodile. attempt to rob the premises,and you WILL be eaten."
Deathgun Red-eyed Sterben atleast in NA nobodied think it's a serious warning,just a creative "beware of dog" sign. XD but idk about AUS. lol.
imagine if someone broke in. I'd die of a heart attack. just walking through the living room and BAM crocodile.
you would most likey think its a stuffed crocodile at first XD until it starts running at you
Back in 2016 they found two big (10 feet) crocodiles in Amsterdam that were safeguarding drug money that was earned through selling crystal meth (300.000 euros) lol
jup welcome to my county XD
Hang a beware of crocodile sign on your door with a picture of your scaly friends. Never get robbed again.
what if they try to steel your crocodile?
"Gentle, gentle. "
Me: Miss, You are talking to a Crocodile.
She still has her arm attached, pretty sure thats how you know a croc is being gentle XD
Sir this is a Wendy's
Search about pocho the crocodile
@@kyriakos2378 Yeah, Pocho was beautiful!!
The crocodile is also a miss who probably vored another miss I figured female bloodthirsty reptiles get along better with female humans than male humans.
At baby age male or female they get along with both genders.
goldfishes is for kids
dogs are for men
alligators are for legends
No alligators are for Aussies
Or crocs
Crocodiles are for Gods.

-You better not say cats-
I always liked crocodiles and their permanent smiles.
acornstairlift yes , they know that no matter how much you think you own them. They are always able to eat you. So they smile in anticipation.

Komodo dragon would like to know your location
@@toxicgoat341 Komodo dragons are a snack for crocodiles

It must me a poodle and a Weiner dog, looks like it.

Well trained. Not many that wait patiently for food like that. My dog even has trouble waiting for his food.
Yes, she's a good girl......thank you for your comment :)
She really is! She is remaining very calm. My dog would have tried to jump on you in that situation. But your lady is just waiting patiently.
matt R my cat jumps in the bag of cat food while I'm scooping it out.
Bro I fucking attack the waiter at dennys if I gotta wait for too long
I suppose crocodiles are patient animals, being ambush predators.
Owner: "Gentle, gentle, gentle. "
Croc: *Viciously bites and devours raw chicken"
Owner: "Good girl, Good girl."
Croc: yes, I am the best girl

Yeah......she's a good guard dog !
Wow that Crocodile is beautiful.Be careful so nothing bad happens so u can keep her forever.super Cool.
Thanks Eddy Ortiz !
Thank you very much for your comment. And yes, i am careful with her & plan to keep her forever too ! :)
Hmm, I'm NOT gonna rob this house.
Thanks for comment !
Vicki Lowing Hmm, this video made me want to get a dwarf caiman but as a student, I don't have alot of time to devote to taming it and stuff. I also had an agreement with my mother and also with my grandparents that I'm going to get a big snake instead, lol! :)
Yeah, I tend to agree with your decision to get a snake instead of a crocodilian. Crocs are a specialist animal to care for......snakes are a lot easier to look after.
You've made a responsible decision, mate..... with the help of your family......LOL......
Good Luck for when you get your new pet, aye :)
I don't think anyone would want to rob a house with Alligators in them. She has like a state of the art security system right there xD
Nature's best.
She is so beautiful. Her body language speaks wonders that she feels comfortable and unafraid in the presence of her human "friends". People like to think of reptiles as bloodthirsty monsters but they are all wonderful creatures like Jilly. Thankyou for sharing this video of her, and helping to educate people as to the sweetn nature they can have. Thankyou, also, for saving her life. No animal deserves to be murdered to be some person's purse.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment...... I appreciate it very much....... means a lot to me when i receive the odd nice and/or supportive comment like yours. Thanks Again :)
Awwww that's so cute! Now give him a big kiss :D

yeaa
Good luck.....
Yea
I want to see you pet his head, for being such a good boy!
😂😂😂
GIRL*
The way she simply lays down and waits patiently for her food instead of being truly demanding is adorable.
Although the amount of money you must have to spend in her food kind of terrifies me when imagining it.
Old comment but reptiles have low metabolisms so even though it's large I wouldn't be surprised if it's not as much as we'd think.
Are you guys still living?
JoTokutora if you get reply then they are. lol
JoTokutora since there is no reply i bet the crocs it her
Yep, I'm still alive & so are my Crocs :)
Great!
Well, how about not being so selfish and keeping a large wild animal in your home in a cage outside or in your kitchen? I don´t care how well you think you can handle this, just the way you are feeding it (stepping back as it goes for the food) should make a light go off in your head that this is not what a normal or intelligent person has in their kitchen. I don´t care if you´ve been "trained" to handle this, (if you actually work with animals you´re a disgrace having the knowledge yet keeping this kind of pet in your home). They say humans are the most intelligent species on our planet. Think abou tthat; you have a croc as a pet, you cannot even feed it safely, you have it in your kitchen. Holy crap lady does that sound like something an intelligent species does? I cannot even call you stupid, because maybe you are just not all together in the head. It is definitely one or the other. I certainly hope nothing bad happens ie the croc harming you, at the same time it would be a better world if people like you lost all rights to own any living thing again. If you have a croc in your house, you are not even responsible enough to own a hamster. On the other hand, it´s not really your fault; our government is the only developed country that allows citizens to own these wild animals legally. The only other legal places to own these type of animals are underdeveloped countries. So stupid and wacko people are going to get them until governments ban this kind of stuff. A wild animal, even a racoon, does not belong in your home as a pet. I can go on forever, at your age you´d think intelligence would one day settle in; apparently it never will. Just plain stupid.

I thought I was savage for having a chihuahua.....this a whole new level!!
JILFIA (or JILLY) WAS RAISED FROM A HATCHLING IN A DOMESTIC HOME ENVIRONMENT. I ADOPTED HER AT AGE 3 YRS OLD & HAVE CONTINUED CARING FOR HER WITH LOTSA LOVE, UNDERSTANDING & RESPECT.
SHE'S ALSO PROVIDED WITH HER NEEDS AS A CROCODILE, IE LARGE POOL OF HEATED & FILTERED WATER IN HER OWN HEATED HOUSE. SHE ALSO HAS ACCESS TO A LARGE OUTSIDE AREA TO MOBILIZE AROUND.
SHE WAS BRED IN CAPTIVITY ON A CROC FARM, WHERE THE CROCS ARE SLAUGHTERED FOR THEIR SKINS & MEAT.
She was saved from a horrible death.
swordsdragon
well at least they are doing it on a farm and not hunting them in the wild...
Nalothisal Crocodiles are horribly murdered in both situations.
swordsdragon
Personally I prefer them doing it on a farm rather than hunting them in the wild. It lowers the profitability of poaching them and in the end spares the ones in the wild.
Nalothisal Both practices should be put an end.
One day you're gonna wake up and... oh wait you're not gonna wake up.
Reinborn same will happen to you and i.
Mack Daddy indeed!
Yup,saltwater crocodiles see humans as a source of food
Reinborn you wake up in a stomach
😂😂😬
Lady, u have some steel balls!
Why are you holding the camera sideways?
drunks
the camera was going on strike
Was a kitten to dangerous for you?

smh HAHAHA
Cats in general are the most dangerous animals on the planet they are ALWAYS plotting......something.
True, tiny killers with ninja skills.
This crocodile is thinking.."Man i could fuck these people up so fast it'd be ridiculous..ehh maybe another day" lmfao

What a nice pupper
please go back to tumblr and refrain from saying that word again
umm no when that sad moment when the joke just flew over your head
no life, the joke didn't go over their head. they said "pupper," and "umm no" said to go back to tumblr and refrain from saying it again. he completely understood the joke, however, disagreed with the terminology they used.
@ChickenInsane You are so stupid and dumb this is a reptile not a fish dumbass
its not a pet if you have to watch your step around it! lol....thats just an animal growing dependent on you feeding it.
+firestormed1 Wolfs are smart, crocs not
+kiba BG correction crocs are very smart animals good sir
Yeah, they cannot communicate, cannot hunt in different environment, cannot learn their name. Just sitting in the water waiting for a thirsty animal to get in their reach. If this is smart ...
+kiba BG it is smart and strategic. Instead of running around all day chasing a buffalo and using all its energy it just waits in the water, knowing the buffalo will come for a drink, and when it does it attacks.
Troll Control And when the river go dry, they bury in the mud and die ...
They definitely like it cut up when they're spoiled rotten 😂❤
The croc one day attacks you and bits your leg and you'll be like "Gentle Gentle Gentle. Good girl"
You realized when he started filming vertical, the crocodile gave him the "nigga please" look and then he went back to filming horizontally lol
Beautiful dog.
just imagine, you're on the phone with yo homie and he like "ay yo what you doin?"
you: "just chillin with my boy croc"
yo homie: "ight finna come to yo house and we can all chill"
you: "ight bet"
then your homie arrives
yo homie: *_"HOLY FUC-"_*
That's funny......I like it !!
You: I did tell you 🤣🤣
3:49 gentle gentle ... Rattles the whole house and almost bites her hand off
You gotta be a CEO to afford feeding her. She's gorgeous. What a creature. Glad to see you built a rapport instead of her being dead and forgotten.
Thanks for your comment, Ricky Bachman.......if only, I wish I was a CEO....I could certainly do with a CEO's income, that's for sure ! And Yes, she is gorgeous too & I love her & my other pets very much......it's not difficult to build a rapport with pets you love ! :)
I'd shudder to think how much it'll cost to feed her when she's fully grown!
She sure is a lovely girl, though!
you need to have a Government-regulated DWA licence to own one said croc
I like that, andrenegwer.....CEO......Croc Entrepreneur Owner !
Yes, Pony Horton.......very expensive to maintain ! And she is a lovely girl......thank you !
So many nice capibaras, parrots, otters, etc... and your exotic animal of choice is a croc? Now I've seen everything 🤣
Crocodiles have to be the chillest dangerous pet to have. Like, as long as you know when not to mess with them and where, they should be easy to take care of. I'd want one.
UPDATE: I was drunk when typing this. I don't want one really....fuck you drunk guy!
WOW! I understand that wild animals can be somewhat tamed, but studies show that because it has not been bred out of them they are still dangerous and likely to turn on their owners, this is one brave kind-hearted lady!
Tamed? No. Trained? Yes. You can never tame a wild animal.
+Lexie Gibbs
Thank you Lexie !
+MannyFresh1x
Not tamed & not trained, but raised with a lot of love, passion, trust & dedication. I raise all my pets in the same manner & have done so all my life, simply coz I love animals........and they seem to know it !
As for Jilfia's wild instincts, it's up to me to understand & respect that & always be aware of her capabilities as a Crocodile !
Vicki Lowing
Yes that's true but she is still a wild animal no matter how much love you show her. She has instincts built into her DNA.
+Lexie Gibbs Evolution of something being tamed, makes it tame.
is dat da crocs gaming setup behind him? nice.

Wow! She’s a beauty! She seems really well trained too. That’s quite a lovely croc you got there.
Thanks Datsundrawings.......she is a beautiful croc with a lovely nature.......I miss her so much..... :(
Vicki Lowing hopefully you can see her again soon. She is such a sweet croc.
@@Thatblue35 Yeah.....I hope it won't be too long before I am able to fly up north to visit her......probably in a couple of months, I hope :)
Vicki Lowing yeah, that would be really great to get to visit her soon.
I'm coming to see the comments, they are more hilarious 😂😂😂

Same here! !
I honestly think that if you know your animal, have the resources for it, and know the dangers, I think you should be able to take care of whatever animal you want.
+Rotger Süßmann Cool! I'm also a libertarian anarchist!
she is adorable. what a nice pet
Thank you David Lee !
Awe. She tries to eat more gentle. Crocodilians are so intelligent. I love their faces.
Thank you for your comment Del Cee.....and yes, Crocodilians are so very intelligent and way more than people will give them credit for...... :)
OK, I'm a tolerant enough guy and all, but when there's a giant modafkin croc in the house THAT'S where you draw the line. Cool croc tho
+Emilio Figueroa
Thanks !
+Emilio Figueroa You don't even know the half of it,
I have three crocs
Two sleep in my bed with me
Crocs are very nice and loving animals if you give them the chance!
+Suprisingly Famous How much does it cost to keep them? That lady just gave that one croc more then a family dinners worth of meat
I have a croc, he loves to drink vodka
For those of you who think the animal in question is being abused take note that this woman and her family members saved this croc from becoming slaughtered for the the skin (clothing) and meat.
If the croc is happy and so is the caretakers then there is no problem.
mechaart
Thanks for your supportive comment, mechaart !!
mechaart No that's not what I was thinking. I was just wondering if any of the people around the crocodile are going to have unfortunate crocodile related accidents. A friend of a friend of mine had pet Rock Pythons and apparently had been around Rock Pythons his whole life. In short he knew what he was doing. But despite this one day they turned on him and that's, that.
Déjà Vu bs just the way you typed it. Lol one day they turned. Ect. It's like saying all black people kill. Lol you can't judge them all by one incident. I would hate to live your live. Boring!
thx you sis, thx you for having love as your guide,bless you and your pet ,love to all that is
Thank you for your nice comment !
Burglar: (SNAP NOISE) WTF MY FOOTS GONE! 😱
OWNER: It was a croc anyway 😉
🤣🤣🤣
So it got its chicken, but where are the waffles???
They're not really meant for pets but she is a beauty
I love how they talk to it like it gives a crap what they say... LOL! "Just biding my time, you a-holes, until I can take you both out..."
lmfao!! I don't know what's funnier,the fact that she really believes that she has a bond with this thing or the fact that she WILL eventually get eaten by it. it's not a matter of IF,but WHEN.😂😂😂😂
Video Should be Titled: PET HUMAN ;-)
Truu Words
Jason Robinson Hope she doesn't run out of food.
What if that crock decides she is tired of eating chicken???😐😐😐
It won't.
Then you switch to beef
iR2bMLG 99 lmao
iR2bMLG 99 thanks for the laugh 😂
OMG What kind of beef are we talking about here?
What a good doggy eating that chicken
She's gorgeous!!!
As someone who raised and cared for reptiles all my life, I KNOW eventually her buddy will grow to a size that will dictate that SHE will become food. And we will then read the news story that a woman was found either dead or missing. You do not, can not train such a wonderful creature to think of a person as anything more than a food source, either what the person provides, or what the person BECOMES. The animal will one day become hungry enough to kill her or someone else close-by enough to become the meal.
Tell that to domesticated wolves over the years lol
king Thor a wolf is very much like a dog. Crocs are reptiles and are totally different. Do you think that all animals are the same? Try domesticating a polar bear or a hippopotamus. You will find both on UA-cam but those are huge exceptions. There is even one guy who visits a wild croc and swims with him every day. But that’s 0ne croc in a million that would allow that.There are always exceptions.
Wow she is beautiful!!!
Thank You ! :)
A man in Costa Rica (I think) did have a pet crock, that he cared for & healed after being shot, he played in the pond? Swamp with it. National geo. Did a special on him. It's on ut.
True story. And when the croc died, there was an elaborate funeral staged for it.
i watched that too
that means that a crock can bond with you
if you spend enough time with it

I love seeing humans and animals bond in different ways. In Bangkok, we had entire herds of crocs that we would spend hours watching. The local mafia kept them to make people disappear they didnt like, but we loved them and threw them chicken and gave them names. I am convinced all animals have as strong and complex a range of emotions as humans, and should be treated with respect.
Thank you so much for your comment, Ivan......it's not often I receive a comment from someone like you, who feels exactly the same way I do about bonding with animals. And I know from my experience in keeping Crocs (and many other animals too), they do have as strong and complex a range of emotions as humans. And I believe, just as you said, all animals should be treated with respect, & love too......Crocs, in particular (coz they are an apex predator), demand & deserve to be respected, aye. :)
Dislike for NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW A CAMERA WORKS
Yes !
You should feed the camera operator to the crocodile.
Shut up and learn how to be a nice and positive person.
Imagine going to the house of a friend you don't know that well, and you walk in and see a big ol' crocodile walking around
This is so cute !
if u gotta feed ur pet like that why u got it in the house? like you just gonna sit there n fold laundry with a croc eyeing ur ass for dinner
Jay Moralis most people feed their reptiles with tongs or metal chopsticks for both their safety and the animals. This isn't Crocodile exclusive. It teaches them that Tongs mean food and nothing else. It prevents accidental bites when they're young and keeps them safe and calm other than when the tongs are out for handling when they're adults. This Croc would have a special relationship with its owners and people unfamiliar they would treat like cats would. Unless you are familiar to them. They aren't stupid either they are just different than mammals. This is a very well trained Croc by the looks of it and they said they raised it from in the egg. They most likely have a pool somewhere on their property just for it. I've seen people with pet Gators also that have permission to have them with correct surroundings and care by the government.
Thanks to RocketLawnChair, for explaining correctly why I use tongs to feed Jilfia......all of what you said in your comment is correct......it's a nice change to read the nice & positive comments, instead of reading so many negative comments !
That crocodile allows those people to live in her house and live in general.
Beautiful..Just Beautiful!!
Thank you !
She has better 'table' manners than my dogs lol
Thanks Sarah for your comment.....and she does have very good manners too :)
awww little chomper!
Or......big chomper !! LOL
You sure you aren't her pet human? lol
LOL.......I never thought of that......I just might be her pet human :)
+Vicki Lowing Well, I can't remember the last time my pets fed me, so I guess the croc is a pet
That would be so badass, someone breaking into your house just to find your pet crocodile sitting across the room stalking them, and waiting for their next move
Awww, so smart! Kudos!
Lol a robber walks in sees this, fuck this shit I'm out
He/she looks very happy in his/her home c: I hope everything is still going well
Great video!
Thank you Patrick McHale !
I love it so much, it's literally like having a pet dinosaur! I don't know to be freaked out or in love!
Yes Sidney Meyers, it is like living with a pet dinosaur & I feel very lucky to have this opportunity to observe & learn about these beautiful animals who I love with a passion !
I JUST WANTED TO SAY A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO HAVE SUBSCRIBED TO MY CHANNEL !!
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT VERY, VERY MUCH !!
THANKS !!
You're such a treasure, Vicki; what a very dear, wonderful and special gal you are. I know that obese reptiles can also develop liver disease. I took on an obese female Savannah Monitor. I think her prior owner had been feeding her cat/dog food. I took excellent care of her and about 6 months later, that morning when I opened her enclosure to tend to her, she had passed away in her sleep; just curled up and died overnight. I suspect heart or liver failure.
I imagine with the metabolic bone disease, the young lady croc must have been shielded from the sun. Let's hope she doesn't have MBD as I read that it's very painful; a long, slow death. HOWEVER, contrary to what some say or think, it can be reverse and I bet you know that and if she stands any kind of chance at this life, it's only going to be with someone as brave, courageous, loving, caring and kind as you.
Natalie Parkerson Hi Natalie,
Thank you so much for your flattering comment.....I really appreciate it very much :)
And Yes, obesity in reptiles is just as unhealthy as it is in any other animal or human, as you're obviously aware.
When I adopted Jilfia in 2009, she was only just 3 years old & already 6 ft in total length & very obese. I was quite shocked when I first saw her. She was so big (for her age), she had difficulty in mobilizing around......& could only move by sliding her heavy body along the ground. I also noticed the tip of her tail was "flopping" to one side......which can be a sign of MBD. Her previous owner actually hatched her on the Croc Farm he was working on, at the time. However, his work visa expired & he wasn't granted the extension to continue working here in Australia, as he'd hoped, & therefore had to return to the country from whence he came. Consequently, he offered Jilfia into my care.
Since she’s been with me, I’ve been removing all fat from her food (that is, when I’m feeding her chicken drumsticks & any red meat), when not feeding her whole chickens. She also has quite a large area to mobilize around too, so gets a little more exercise than she had with her previous owner.
However, I have to admit I’m a little fearful of Jilfia perhaps already suffering from a fatty liver ??
As for Johnie (my lady Freshwater Croc), she suffered acute & chronic illnesses from the age of 4 yrs to 8 yrs old, as a result of high counts of toxic cyanobacteria contaminating our water supply from 2000 to 2004, & of which I was unaware of at the time. It’s a long story, so I won’t go into it, excepting to say it was I who eventually discovered the toxic cyanobacteria in our water supply ! Consequently, I sold my farm & moved interstate, as my son & other pets were also suffering the toxic effects by 2004.
As a vet explained to me, it was Johnie’s malfunctioning liver (caused by the cyanotoxins) which resulted in malabsorption of calcium, causing the loss of her teeth & bone deformities of her snout. You can imagine how confused & concerned I was re-Johnie’s chronic loss of teeth etc., despite ensuring she was fed a good diet (incl. calcium & Vit. D supp.) as well as access to plenty of natural sunlight. I later learned Johnie’s immune system was constantly being compromised by the cyanotoxins in her water, which also resulted in an abundance of pseudomonas aeuroginosa in her mouth which eventually corroded many of her frontal bony tooth sockets. Therefore, Johnie now lacks teeth in these areas.
Thank you once again for your kind words re- caring for my Crocs, & which is very much appreciated ! J

I later learned Johnie’s immune system was constantly being compromised by the cyanotoxins in her water, which also resulted in an abundance of pseudomonas aeuroginosa in her mouth which eventually corroded many of her frontal bony tooth sockets. Therefore, Johnie now lacks teeth in these areas.
Thank you once again for your kind words re- caring for my Crocs, & which is very much appreciated ! J
Thank you for all that you do.

And Thank You Natalie for your positive comments.......I very much appreciate it !! :)

Too funny LMMFHO
Gappster 5 days later you eat a dog
Imagine going to the store for a sticker. Instead of, 'Mind The Dog', it'd be, 'Mind The Croc!'
Yeah....I've got signs up "Beware of the Crocodile" !! :)
Sooo cuteeee! Aweeee!
Thanks goldeneyesofafrica, for your comment......very much appreciated ! And yes, Jilfia will grow very large, approximately twice the size she already is now !! I also plan to keep her too.
My goal in life is to one day, own a small wildlife park, where I'd be able to provide Jilfia with heaps of space, including a reservoir of water & appropriate housing.
Unfortunately though, I haven't any funds..... Just hope to find funding from govt grants, sponsorship etc.

Thank you for your comment, which I've only just discovered & read now !
And so I do apologize for the delay in this reply. Unfortunately though, up until now, I'd only received & had read your offensive comments, which really confused me, not knowing the reason behind them & how or why I might've offended you.
Anyway, after now reading your above comment, I was very interested in learning you've had the special pleasure of owning 3 different species of Crocodiles. And I also agree it really is a special pleasure owning a Croc. I can also relate to your sadness of losing such a special animal, as I lost my first Croc many years ago, which broke my heart.
I really admire you for being such a responsible Croc owner & finding good homes for your African Nile & Moreletes Crocodiles, when you realized you couldn't cope with the ongoing care they need. There's no doubt Crocs are a specialist animal to care for & very costly as well.......I myself, battle financially & go without, in an effort to try & give my Crocs the best possible care I can. There's not a lot of really good people, like yourself, who would be prepared to put the welfare of their Crocs first & go to the effort of finding a good home for it. It's really nice to hear how much you appreciated your time spent with your Crocs too.
I've heard, too many times, of Crocs dying in captivity due to lack of care, or otherwise, being let go in the wild (where they would suffer & die as a result), coz of being in the hands of irresponsible owners.......which is really sad.
And thank you very much also for complimenting me on my videos & the care of my Crocs too......It's very much appreciated !!

Oh my goodness, so it was your brother who wrote those crazy, nasty & offensive comments. I'm so glad I accidently discovered your original comment last nite (whilst I was reading & replying to other comments people had posted here), otherwise I would've just assumed you were some crazy person & deleted the comments & blocked you.
So thank you for getting back to me with your above reply & letting me know......And apology accepted too :)

Hi Justin, nice to meet you & I'm so glad we soughted that out (with your brother's comments, i mean). When I first received read those comments, I checked out your UA-cam channel, & that's what confused me, as you appeared to be a nice person with a genuine interest in reptiles. Anyway, like I said, I persevered looking through all the comments posted on here, til I eventually found your original & interesting comment......and am so glad i did now !
I'm afraid I haven't much time to reply now, as am always so busy, looking after all my reptiles, including Crocs......keeps me vry busy & broke too.....lol !
I loved reading your above comment, & again, have only just now discovered it too.
You certainly sound like a very responsible person & a true reptile/croc lover, who has at least done some research into the care of crocs, to know how much space they need.....I admire that in you.
I recommend a very good website to read re- the care of crocs:
Crocodilian Captive Care FAQ (Caiman, Alligator, Crocodile)
This site was put together by a zoologist I know & includes just about all you need to know.
As for me, my interest in reptiles began when i was just 4 years old & kept lizards as pets, & by the age of 10 rs old, I got my first pet Python.
At the age of 6 yrs old, I became fascinated in Crocs, but didn't get my first Croc til another 12 years later.
As for your feelings about crocs being intelligent, I couldn't agree with you more. I learned this from my first pet Croc way back in 1979.....My pet Crocs have taught me way more than anything i've read in a book or on the internet.
I believe Crocs are very intelligent !!
I love what you said about Respecting Crocs......My crocs taught me to show them Respect & they respect me back. I often try to educate people "Crocs not only Deserve to be respected, but they Deserve to be respected" !!
I think we think alike about Crocs, Justin, & it's very nice to meet someone else (you) who perceives Crocs like I do.
Are you on Facebook, by any chance ?? If you are, please feel welcome to add me, Vicki Lowing, okay. And check out my Facebook page too, if you like: Crocs N' Critters Wildlife Demonstrations.
Sorry again for the delay in this reply, but like i said, i've only just come across it now......Your above comment had actually been marked as Spam.
Anyway, take care & hope to talk again,
Cheers,
Vicki

Hi Justin, thanks for your reply, which I found interesting, in reading more about the Crocs you had. And Yes, I can relate very well to the cost involved in caring for a Croc, not to mention, the dedication & time, as well, etc.
I can also well relate to having a finger shredded......actually it was my thumb which was shredded down to the bone, by my first Croc, name Rocky, who was a Salty. It was an accident & entirely my fault, but man, was it a very painful wound ! As you can imagine, I boast quite a few scars, on my hands, arms, feet & legs. Freshwater Crocs (Crocodylus johnstoni) are quite aggressive/defensive crocs, in comparison with the Salties. The Salty doesn't have to be defensive......if he/she wants to harm or kill you, he knows he has the power to do so.
The Freshies are so quick to nip you & have razor sharp teeth too.
My oldest Freshie, Johnie, who is now 18 yrs old, will only nip me for a reason, eg. if I accidently knock her with my foot.
Anyway, mate i could sit here & write for hours, but it's now way past my bedtime, so I'll keep this short & talk again soon.
And yeah, i'd love to have a pet Perentie, aye......they're magnificent looking monitors.
I actually have 2 pet Lace Monitors, who are pretty cool too :)
Take Care
Hugs, Vicki

Hi Justin, Thanks for your very interesting reply. I'm really sorry, but i haven't time to reply just now as it's 3 am & I must get to bed.
I haven't received your friend request yet ? Is your facebook the name you use here, or a different one ?
Anyway, must go now & will talk later.
Take Care, Cheers, Vicki
I'm not really a nay-sayer on this. I've always had a soft spot for reptiles, and I think this would be great. I love dogs, but their life span is heartbreaking to say the least. If you really live with it, and get to know it, any animal can have that kind of bond most common with canines. A majority of the population of crocodiles have shown to live quite long, so as care and housing may be expensive, you'll never have to worry about burglary. "Let's take the electron-HOLY CRAP THERE'S A CROCODILE ON THE COUCH."
Thank you for your comment.....I love reading the positive comments from people, like yourself, who are open minded enough to believe Crocs, like mine, are capable of bonding...... :)
What's with the thumbs downs? It's a real crocodile! What did they expect? Either they wish it was fake, or mad cause the video wasn't in 4K.
Saying gentle to a croc while feeding it is an oxymoron. Lol
Very cute but I would fear to be eaten :0
Be careful one day u be her. Im scare for you
Alexy Tousignant. Some day owner will be their food 🥘
Alexy Tousignant u cute tho :3
just feed it in time, croc's can go about a week without food (i thaught it was)
Not really, I notice that you can tame any creature if you raise them young, feed them, and sometimes, give certain creatures love, for example, mammals(for some odd reason), literally I have seen people raise sharks, snakes, hippos, and kangaroos.
INTERIOR CROCIDILE ALLIGATOR
Oml isn't that why they rescued her😂 interior?
Lmaoooo
***** I drive a cheverolet movie theater.
***** Dosen't that croc Expand your dong m8?
+Donkey Kong Ah...I see what you are doing, Donkey Kong.
You're studying how these reptiles act so that you and Diddy can get the upper hand on King K. Rool next time you meet him, right?
I gotcha ;)
If this isnt the most australian thing ive seen since the dude that suckerpunched a kangaroo
Sure Wish I could take care of one of those.
then when it gets adult i'd go out fishing on it's back instead of a boat and feed it whatever fish I get. your life is awesome lady.
Thanks mate !
No matter how you look at this, its dangerous, its a wild animal, sooner or later something will happen.
