CROCODILE CREEK

I've always preferred Tomistoma.

The other specimen, not pictured in any of my photos, remained in a shady spot just below the visitors viewing deck.

I figured thats where the other male was when scrolling through the photos. It would be good if there were some plants planted to overhang the water or plants that could float above it. Papyrus worked really well for the gharials in San Diego.

LA got a major collection of reptiles several years ago that had been confiscated at the LA airport. This is how they got their original Komodo dragons (including the one that bit Sharon Stone's husband). There were also 4 juvenile tomistomas from this collection that lived in the old reptile house for several years. When the old reptile house was closed they went to other facilities (including the St. Augustine alligator place in Florida from what I have heard). LA brought two of them back now that they have a suitable enclosure. I do not know their long term plans - obviously no breeding planned at the moment with 2 males.

Thanks for the correction, i really need to catch up with the literature

Tomistoma also regularly breed in a couple of commercial croc farms in Thailand.
