Crocodile as a pet? Bad bad idea!

Sergey Falkov from Irkutsk, Russia, has always been interested in crocodiles. He was very happy when he bought one in Africa and could bring him home to Russia. But today his life under the same roof with the crocodile is far from ideal. Recently he has been made by the reptile to live in one room only while he has two in his flat. The second room is fully under control of crocodile Tuzik.

Sergey has no choice but to give his sofa to his 25 kg exotic pet Tuzik, to create 30C heat in his room and to prop up the door of his bedroom with a stool.

When Sergey was buying the crocodile in Africa his length was less than 20 cm. And it is still rather young. Average life of such animals is 45 years, some of them may become 80 years old. The weight of Tuzik has already grown for fourteen kilograms, his length is about to reach two meters. When the crocodile becomes three meters long it will only be considered to be a teen.


Sergey was hoping he would teach Tuzik to behave like a pet but after two years of fruitless attempts to train the animal he simply gave up.


But the animal still regularly needs to take a bath, to eat and to have its own clean territory.

Sergey’s cat named Moose likes to play with the reptile and often comes to its room, however Sergey is afraid that one day it may become a victim of the dangerous pet.


The hapless lover of exotic animals admits he’s ready to sell Tuzik but nobody in Irkutsk wants to spend money for such a pet.

He still does not know what to do with Tuzik, no zoological parks in the city are willing to get it.

Maybe soon Tuzik will force its master out from the second room too…

Unfortunately Moose has no solutions to this problem too.
