Can you train crocodiles not to bite? Or at least not to bite you? I thought they might be useful to deter burglars seeing as they just steal your dog here.

Nope. Though this Thai crocodile trainer thought so:cptrelentless wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 11:38 am Can you train crocodiles not to bite? Or at least not to bite you?

Re: Two Crocodiles Caught; 2 Men Bitten in Kampong Thom
This wet season is bringing out the crocodiles. These are Siamese crocs, right ? I thought that they were a shy and retiring species who avoid humans. The floods make it easier for them to travel in search of food I guess.

They are shy and retiring until some retard sticks his face in theirs whilst trying to catch them for dinner. I'm guessing he grabbed it by the tail, worst thing to do, lightning reflexes swing head around, kiss kiss

These ar crocs that escaped from one of the farms. There are hardly any pure Siamese crocs left, I believe the last ones are in the Cardamons.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 24, 2018 5:56 pm This wet season is bringing out the crocodiles.

I think they are Siamese crocs
raised occipitals, twin-paired ('badge' on back of neck) salties don't have these

I was told that in the farms Salties and Siamese are cross-bred to get the skin of the salty and the, supposedly, docile nature of the Siamese crocs.

They used to interbreed even without human prompting : https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/te ... s-part-ii/
It’s well known that Siamese crocs will hybridise with Saltwater crocs C. porosus in captivity (and in the wild as well), the resulting offspring sometimes being enormous animals. An especially famous hybrid individual known as Yai (or Jao Yai), hatched in 1972 and kept at the Samut Prakan Crocodile Farm and Zoo in Thailand, is between 5.5 and 6 m long (different sources give different lengths). Yai is apparently the largest crocodile kept in captivity (his identification as a siamensis x porosus hybrid has been informally doubted by some but it's likely that this is what he is. So far as I know, his genetics have not been investigated).
