I would like to show you some pics from a normal day at my work sorry if some of these pics are small.

What the matter with the front legs on the alligator? Are you breeding the slender snouts?

[imperial exotix]

Looks very cool!
Any volunteer positions open

We haven't bred the slender snouted this season maybe if we are lucky in the next, the gator is missing one of her front leg were it was bitten of by a male during mating.

Here's Hannibal our 5meter nile croc weighing over 600kg he was measured and weighed in 2008 so he is much bigger now than then

My dearest friend, dearest dearest friend.

are you crazy, LOL.
I am more scared of crocs then the death angel.
I get goosebumps looking at those photo's.
Geeeeez.. Hannibal is huge, I would stand from a distance behind the wall of the enclosure. They are just not my thing BIG or SMALL, I cr@p myself.

Wow hannibal is amazing!!!!! Any estimate on his age?

[chondro3000]

Hannibal is 70 years old but they unfoutunatly do not come with a birth certificate, lucky though I wouldidn't want to stand behind him at home affairs in line to apply for a sa id, and be around when someone steps on his tail.

Sitting on a croc is not a good idea to start with... but to sit next to a wall with your leg in-between it is even worse. Were you not worried about getting pinned when he swung towards you stick?
Your knee would be crushed...and another herper will give reptiles a bad name.

Not starting #$%^... i've been known to mess with crocs form time to time and love silliness but just pointing out some problems.

With a croc of that weight it would not be bothered too much by a human on his hand legs. Being so close to the wall he can only turn to his right and cannot really fling you off. Its not as unsafe as what it looks.

Thank you BV I've couldn't explained it beter myself ( You see monopeltis thats the only reason why I sat on his back and I tapped him on his side for him to open his mouth whichs he did but very slowly)

Old Hannibal looks much bigger in the flesh. You would not want to try sitting on the back of a croc much smaller than 4m thou. You actually have two 70 year old crocs on that farm, one of them just walks around on two legs.
