Hi Justin,

I have 3 Nile crocs. Of various sizes. I think your coming at this from a poor premise. Niles are not an animal that one should necessarily look to tame. I personally would never take liberties with a large animal.

Having said all that I do have a smaller 3-4ft animal that I use in educational shows and is fairly tractable once held. It is a typically agressive feeder otherwise.

Just a few thoughts.
