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.

Crocodile and alligator question
Do they ever make roaring or growling noises when attacking someone like the movies on Syfy have them doing?

No, when they attack they will "hiss", it's air passing through the gullet, the only time I hear a bellow or something along the lines of a growl, is when breeding season is in full effect. Syfy overdramatises to make things more exciting. Hope this helps.

Thank you kindly, and it does help. I like your signature about kissing a rattlesnake if you believe love conquers all. Yes it's true that the only creatures that can touch a rattlesnake without one biting or trying to bite is a rattlesnake of the opposite sex. Bull snakes are immune to their venom, but Rattlers of course don't know that, and that doesn't stop them from trying to defend themselves by biting. There are creatures that can prey on rattlesnakes, but they're too quick for the snakes to bite them.
God bless, Jason Scott Irelan

Bullsnakes are not immune to venom but Kingsnakes are.

Sorry out of topic, how about red-eyed crocodile skinks? I'm sorry if I really newbie about the crocodile species and different kind of breed. I am not very sure, sometimes because of the size, I think this species is a mix between lizard and crocodile. I read the facts that male and female sound differently, between distressed and attract each other for mating. Anyone here ever had the experience to keep it as a pet?

They are not a mix of lizard and crocodile. There is no such thing. They are skinks, plain and simple. They are called crocodile skinks because their skin superficially resembles that of a crocodile. They are not crocodilians in any way.
As far as their care goes, they are not hard to care for, but they are not a good "pet" because they do not appreciate handling. They should be considered more of a display species.
Here is a comprehensive care sheet written by my vet:
