Almost all crocodillians are problem captives for those not ready for the responsibility lack the knoledge and or space along with iguanas monitors and large boids do not do well in the wrong hands but when you think about all these species do great with responsible owners. however the wrong hobbyist who just spontaneously decide to own these species who dont understand the risks of the larger species expecially the large boids and crocodillians give the reptile hobby a bad name you should also know that because of this bad publicity we as reptile owners develop enemies such as the humane society of the us. a government. org. that in the end dose not even fund local orginizations if you like to find out more out about the negative effects of the humane society go to cornutopia.com or for more about ethics and responsibility see "guidelines for responsible herptile ownenership" an article by philippe de vosjoli in the 2003 "Reptiles USA" magazine.
