Crocodile Farm
Well turned out that our brother of a friend tour guide raised crocs on the side. It was really quite interesting and apparently more lucrative than I thought (about $200 a head at 50lbs/head selling for over a $1k/head once large enough). This was a small operation, only 30 head of crocs, with a total capacity of 40 max. I didn't get pictures of them but i am standing above the crocodile "stalls" where they have bedding that, come time to lay eggs, they pile up into a nest. This guy sells the eggs, apparently he does not find it worth it to raise them from eggs to a skinning size.
