Crocodiles can be kept as pets, but too big crocodiles can't. Nile crocodiles, American crocodiles and other varieties can reach four or five meters in size and cannot be raised. One of the most famous pet crocodiles is the Thai crocodile, which is very small and can be used as a pet. However, although they look gentle, they are also fierce and may attack people when they are hungry. Before keeping them as pets, you need to apply for the relevant domestication qualification certificate, otherwise it is illegal to keep them.

Raising crocodiles requires:

1, space: the first thing to prepare for crocodile farming is space. It is necessary to use a larger water tank, which is at least 1.5 times the length of the crocodile's body, and the higher the height, the better, because the crocodile has the ability to jump. Not only water environment is needed, but also land environment is needed, because crocodiles also need to move on land.

2. Food: It is also important to prepare food for crocodiles. Beef is more suitable, pork is more fat, not as suitable as beef. Besides, other animals are also possible, such as mice, chickens, rabbits, frogs and earthworms. Crocodiles need to be fed every day when they are young. When they are adults, they usually need to be fed every 2-3 days.

3. Sun: Crocodiles must be provided with light. Generally speaking, they get 1-2 suns a week. Besides natural light, artificial light can also be used.

4. Water temperature: Pay attention to the water temperature in the living environment of crocodiles. They used to live in tropical and subtropical areas, so the temperature is between 26 and 32 degrees.
