Boy.. This is pretty embarrassing of me to ask but for a while, I’ve been looking for some potential new friends interested in reptiles, especially crocodilians, able to possibly go on adventures with me. I haven’t had much luck finding those with similar interest in person so rather silly of me, I’ve turned here lol. So anyone here like the Crocodilians too?
I currently keep multiple species of Crocodile & Caiman with my close friend near Dallas but generally he’s away so despite my undying passion for them, i can’t enjoy them with others like I want to. Additionally, there’s multiple other AZA facilities I would like to bring someone I can trust along too. I honestly just need someone else to socialize with about them really, for some additional information about me:
I’m 19 years old (M) & have been extensively researching the crocodilians, especially the Nile Crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) from an early age. However, this will only be into effect from now until May 15th, likely on the weekends as I will be leaving to my home country of Kenya for two weeks afterwards then I will return in June (can do this after I return anyway!). Since this is my first time ever doing something like this on reddit of all places, if you wish to meet me or see my animals (plus so my parents don’t freak lol), I humbly request that you please be no older than 25 years old & no younger than 18 (unless accompanied by an adult with experience). Much preferably, since I may indeed bring you to see & interact with literal crocodiles, I would like to know if you have any prior experience with large potentially dangerous reptiles, are physically fit & are good at listening to directions for your own safety. Please send me a direct message to discuss this further! (PLEASE don’t bring a lot of people too, both for my animals sake & mine, it can be very problematic).
