Hi Max,

It depends on conditions. In great conditions you can see 2ft or more. In average situations 12-18 inches, poor conditions less than that.

I honestly don't know how to tame a crocodilian and I never try to do so. The animals that I own that are tractable seem to get that way just from being around people daily while others never reach a calm level.

Others may help here.
