Hi Paul,

The problem is that in the USA so many folks have animals from different places in the same pool and the resulting offspring are of course a mix. This makes tracking alot of lines problematic but you can usually tell just by looking if you have seen enough.

Do you know the fella in Ocala that bred some of the animals on the classifieds?




>>Hello Chris,

>>Nice to hear from you. How have you been?
>>
>>The "normal" and "yellow" babies all came from the same male but were bred to different females. It was my understanding these crocs (now on display at GATORLAND) came out of somewhere in East Africa (Tanzania?).
>>
>>Tom Crutchfield do you recall any information as to the location the Gatorland adults were from before they entered the USA?
>>
>>Maybe Chris we can trace some history on this bloodline, niles are such a fantastic species with much variation, it's a good thing you have so many
