Croc takes vet hand.

Warning there is a graphic photo in the article. I no longer envy anyone who works with crocs.

Re: Croc takes vet hand.

I can not believe I am the only one shocked by this story. This one makes me wonder which is more dangerous, large crocs , large snakes or large komodos.

I would put them all in the "will try to eat me category" and yet every other day a kid brings home a salvator, a reticulated python or even baby alligators

Re: Croc takes vet hand.

When giving a croc an injection, isn't step one; securing the jaws? Sad story nonetheless.

I guess that would explain why these vets charge so much. The, er uh, occupational hazards.

Re: Croc takes vet hand.

This is my whole point. When my large salvator passed away our vet was lucky she was too weak to take his hand. How do people do vet visits with large dangerous reptiles? Jaw tying? anesthesia? Perhaps some wildlife professionals can help us understand what went wrong and how to deal with our large aggressive reptiles.
