beach chick Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 did anyone see this programme last Weds or Thurs? it was FAB! this young-ish chap wants to build a crocodile zoo, and it was the story of his life - how he'd got into crocs, everything he knew about them, including keeping about 30 in his back garden, travelling the world to meet croc experts etc etc. he has a very long-suffering wife and 3 small children. we loved it, so great to see someone following their dreams so whole-heartedly. there is another episode next week...C5 I think.

Bramble Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yes, i thought it was fabulous, I'm totally in awe of the guy ... also makes me feel better about keeping installing a Cube in my tiny garden - the croc man's garden didn't look that big, but if he can cram 23+ crocs into it, I'm sure there's room for a Cube in mine!! Wish him lots of luck - he seemed a really nice guy with a very supportive wife too! PS. Do you think he asks the neighbours to pop in and feed the crocs when he goes on holiday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beach chick Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Bramble, he was brilliant wasnt he? I just love that someone has a dream like that, and it looks as if it will come true. (although dont think his wife was too keen on feeding the crocs while he was away ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(although dont think his wife was too keen on feeding the crocs while he was away ) She was pretty incredible too, I thought, at one point she said "if you want to be with Steve [i think that was his name ]you've got to take the crocs too", thought she had a fantastic attitude.

beach chick Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 I think he might have the condition known as morecrocs disease, closely related to morehens syndrome but a bit more dangerous and expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
