I'm moving a 5ft nile next week and I will surely have at least 1 person helping me, probably 2. The Nile will be going straight into a crate for transport.

Not cooling the croc down at all, will drain the water the night before though so its not so wet and hard to grip, towl over his head, tape on his jaws and off he goes to the crate.

The 1 or 2 helpers will be mainly for taping jaw, lifting to crate and getting in the crate ... crate lid will be 2 sections to make it a little easier kepping it in until its sealed.
