A couple of photos of my female dwarf crocodile in hew new enclosure. I built the enclosure out of 2X3's and cement board and it measures around 6X4X4. The crocodile herself measures just over 3 feet. The pond is a medium "land" tub by waterland tubs, which measures 6X2.5X14" deep. The land area is roughly 6X2 with a cut out above a smaller "dock" for her to hide under. The pool is filtered with a large laguna pressure filter and silica sand is what I used on the beach for her. She's only been in it for 2 days now and was up on the land as in the photos when I checked on her yesterday. She ate last night as well but seems to be back to her old shy ways. I've found that over time she'll become a little more bold and tong feed etc., but if I have to capture her for any reason, she loses trust in me. Hope you enjoy!

PS this animal was captive bred in Quebec, Canada.
