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!

Very beautiful animal - I'm jealous.

Do you have any full body shots with better lighting? I'd love a better look at the scalation.

Hi, I don't have a whole lot of pictures of her unfortunately.. I have had her for around a year now and she is still fairly shy so in order to get pictures usually, it means bringing her out of the enclosure and I'm not particularly fond of bringing her out unless I really need to. Here's one more picture though if it helps you any.
