i totally agree with frank on this. my first 2 crocs were wild caught bus i only had the first one for a month or less the second i had for about 2 to 3 months theywere both verry verry skitish, u know touch them and they would run around like crazy ,but not really try to bite unless restrained and then it was more just opening their mouth. the one i had for 2 months after about 1.5 month started to calm down i could hand feed him ,and hold the little rubermaid that a would give him hard boiled eggs in, and most of the time i could reach in and gently pet his back ,and he was 5 feet long. so they arent really all that bad. but i have never tried franks method that he used with his lacies thats why i asked about the gloves because i know what there teeth are like and i never let one bite my gloved hand..



also the 2 i got on a trade and were for resale and i dont really do the whole buy sell trade thing anymore it was about 3 years ago



also anyone who cares i just got a new job today working at a place that breeds raises and trains tigers leopards and the ocasional lion so if any of you have any experience with these please let me know as i am verry new to this.. they are going to train me but any of your stories would be cool to hear.. im mostly going to be working with tigers though

thanks
