If it's truely leucistic, probably in excess of one-hundred-thousand dollars. There has never been one found in FL. I, as would everyone else on this forum, would like to see photos of it.

Yup, sounds like a croc.

Remember thast guy,.. "caimancroc",... or "caimankid",... or something like that? He used to post outlandish stuff every now and then to try to recieve instant recognition and awe. This rings of that guy.

I have been around this forum since '99 and have seen more than a few "characters" come and go - it's part of the territory. My most memorable one was someone who claimed they had a gharial. According to their story, a breeder in Florida gave them a baby. They finally admitted that they "only wished" they had one. It was a kid looking for attention - I had to give them credit though, they finally fessed up and apologized to the forum.

The thing is, you never know who is on the other side of that virtual neighborhood. I have made some errors in judgement along the way when jumping to conclusions.

.....when that kid was posting that he was part of a giant croc capture somewhere up North,... in the winter, no less,.... and he and 2 other guys loaded this 19 or 20 foot crocodile into a Jeep to transport it back to some zoo or something. Remember that one?? It was hilarious! And he held the tail as they drove! Ha ha ha ha,... it cracks me up just to think about it!
