I messaged these guys a long time ago asking if they cared if I posted pictures. I haven't gotten a response, but there's nothing that says I can't and I followed all of their photography rules (no flash, no tapping glass, etc). So, finally, over a year later, here are the pictures! I apologize if I have any of the species wrong, as it's been a while and I'm going on memory. They're nothing special, just some iPhone shots, but some of them turned out pretty good Smile

Enjoyed your photos!
All the crocodilian photos appear to be crocodiles. Alligators (A) have an over-bite that typically hides the teeth on the bottom jaw. In crocodiles (B) the enlarged fourth tooth fits into a depression in the upper jaw.

Thanks for the clarification!! It has been so long I was worried I would mislabel them. I remember Daisy and Bubble Boy because they are the two that you can watch eat on Saturdays. Bubble Boy is HUGE!!! Smile

I LOVE this place Very Happy I try to go every year whenever I go on my family vacation. It's in Wilmington, NC. It's pretty cheap to get in and they do feedings every Saturday. They have a lot of animals and they're well-cared for. The people there are really nice and are willing to answer any questions with in-depth and accurate explanations. I LOVE going and seeing what new things they've acquired. I really recommend it if anyone is in the area c:

Here is their site, if anyone wants it. They also have a Facebook.

The owner is a HUGE fan of Bushmasters. Their Bushmaster collection is pretty famous, and they've done a lot of research for conservation and venom work with the species.
