We had a property near Clearwater for 11 years.
These are from our rear garden and they ate turtles. The crunching sound was horrendous.
Back yard pests,have you got any?

Finchy,where have you been? Under Ayers RocK ffs ha ha. There are PLENTY of full size crocs in the land down under mate,in fact there are more and more calls to allow hunting again.
Waters up north should always be treated as having LARGE crocs in them,the big boys have a habit of being unseen and thus unnoticed.
Matt Wright catches them weekly.

The rich get around it under the laws as they are today. Once the permit is issued for a problem cattle killer the cheque book comes out.

Are you sure they were crocodiles?
There are a lot more alligators in Florida.

Circa `98 I bought the saw shark bill from a local Pro Barra fisherman,he wouldn't sell me the croc teeth though.
True, true, but when you have been hitting the Buds everything looks the same, and the brain ain't working right.

Come on man, you know you love the furry little fullas!.
Grant.
They are big but I still think they can (and will) get a lot bigger than that. Biggest Australian salty recorded was 8.6 m wasn't it in 1957..?
I'm sure I read somewhere that above a certain length their bulk increases exponentially so a 6 m croc will weigh almost twice as much as a 5 m croc. I'll try and dig that out if I can remember where I saw it.

Because it was cheaper than houses with no/limited Crocodile access, just a quirk of the Aus housing market
Yes there are crocodiles in Florida but Alligators outnumber them about 1000 to 1
I asked the question because I was curious about if it was actually crocodile that was being talked about or not here.
When I was in Florida we used to run and jump over the top of alligators lying across a dirt track because they were very tame and docile. I wouldn’t trust them with small kids though

Like James Bond did?
Saw some people in a camp site in Katherine NT camped down by the river who were sitting outside their tents supping beer and chucking scraps to some little freshies a couple of yards away from their feet. Don't think I'd have done that.....Yes there are crocodiles in Florida but Alligators outnumber them about 1000 to 1

I took a run up and jumped over an immature eastern brown snake once (only about 2' long). It was lying across a narrow forest path cut into a steep hill and wouldn't shift and the girlfriend was lying up in a bothy with a twisted ankle waiting for me to bring the car round a dirt track to pick her up. Didn't realise what the snake was til afterwards.

for every inch apart their eyes were you could reckon a foot in length. ie. 6” apart = 6 feet long.
Might just have been bs, I don’t know.

I have never seen a James Bond film in my life, but yes I am probably a lot like him…..smart, handsome, babe magnet, secret agent…..
