Sexy Lady!!

What a lovely lady feeding the day before we caught her in the lagoon and then in the cage.

Today we caught another female who was about nine foot in length. Two females had been caught just before I arrived. It was amazing to see the difference in character she was a lot more snappy and panicky. We had real trouble roping her neck as she kept smashing into the bars of the cage hurting herself. It is so horribly sad to see them hurt themselves. The worst moment was when we had the rope on her and were going to open the door and she panicked and got her head stuck in the bars of the cage. Then in a desperate attempt she tried to perform a death roll her body flipped over with her head still in the bars. Fearing she would break her neck Doug (Son of the farms founders) and Eric (Co-fish farm manager) grabbed her mouth and were finally able to free her after some very tense moments. Bolting out the cage and going into another death roll she was too tired to fight much and was quickly pulled onto land. We tied her up but were very worried about her condition. She arrived safely at the croc farm and is doing well.
