Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Caging options with Gator and Nile croc
Im getting a baby Nile croc here soon and I have a 3ft Male gator that is in a 300gal stock tank and I was going to put the baby nile in a 180 till he gets big enough to protect himself from my gator in the 300. Im pretty sure when my nile gets 2ft he could fend of a 3ft male gator, Niles are wicked! Plus they will both be feed plenty. I need to see if this is a good idea or not. I know i cant keep them in the same cage once they hit sexual maturity but what about beforehand?

Not being a smart mouth here but maybe blunt. If you can afford a Nile and Alligator, If you can afford to feed them, Then you can give them both their own space. It doesn't matter which one's bigger, stronger or more violent. They are both ambush predators. If one get's a solid lock on the other one you will have a dead animal and probably an injured one.

I can afford both of them a cage of there own I was just wanting to put them together too see if they would make some pretty cool feeding video's of them. I have a few k's that im not using which is going towards them so i can build them some pretty cool enclosure's. I was going to keep them together until about 4ft and then they have 2 625 gallon ponds with land built around them which will last them until about 6 1/2ft. Then I will dig them ponds and put fencing around them and they will have a adult sized enclosure.

I personally would not keep them together at all imo. they come from two different parts of the world, therefore they are only immune to diseases native to their homelands. If your gator or nile would contract a disease from one or the other, the results could be bad. Plus you never can tell how one animal will react when another comes into its territory regardless of sexual maturity. If it were me i would just build another setup for the nile instead.
