Pet Crocodiles - Saying Goodbye to my Pet Saltwater Crocodile "Jilly"

[@helenhoward4082]

😭 I'm so sorry to hear about your Jilly. I only found out about you & your pets about an hour or so ago when I stumbled up on a video of you & them on Vice Asia. I then found your channel so I subscribed & then I saw this video. 😠I can't believe that you have had Jilly all the years you have & how domesticated she was & now the Wildlife Officers have forced you to get rid of her! It's just so wrong, not right & so unfair!! I guess the only consolation if there is one is that you managed to find her another home, it won't be like any thing she had with you but at least I hope it will give you some peace of mind that she will be looked after by the guy you have taken her to. I'm just sorry to hear it's far away from you in Darwin. It's just a thought & I hope your not offended by me suggesting it, but have you considered starting a go fund me or crowd funding page? I'm sure if you set one up & explained what has happened with your Jilly & explain that you are allowed to visit her but you can't afford the travel costs, I'm sure people would love to help as some one had posted on the Vice Asia video asking about had you set up a go fund me or crowd funding page to help you raise the funds for the enclosure you were trying to build back then, so like I've said I'm sure people would like to help because at the end of the day you are an amazing person who has dedicated her life to her pets & you have done something not many people have been able to do..... You actually live in a house with crocs that openly live with you & your other pets & that is just soooo awesome & I really admire you😊. Sending you love & best wishes from here in the UK.x

@Blank Face Baby me too

[@TheCroclady]

WOW......thank you so much Helen Howard, for your lovely comment......I don't quite know what to say 'cept thank you. It's so nice to hear from you (and others here) your words of reassurance and support......reading the words in your comment really means a lot to me......more than you'll ever know. I feel very much alone here at times, battling to save my crocs from being confiscated by the wildlife authorities who just don't understand the way I keep my crocs here. I've had a licence to keep wildlife for 38 years and have kept crocs for 28 years without an issue......until now.....I'm still in shock at losing Jilly and now could lose Johnie too, who I've had for 23 years !! I just don't understand how authoritative people have the right to come into one's home and tell you how to look after your own pets when they're in obvious good health etc.....these people just like throwing their power around, I think....they're meant to be protecting our wildlife, not tearing much loved wildlife pets away from their owners and then euthenasing them...... my crocs have been bred and raised in captivity in a domestic environment where they've learned to adapt and integrate to become part of my family in my home. Rather than raising them in locked enclosures, just to be gawked at by humans, I've allowed them to roam freely in my home and around my property, without an issue......that is, until last year, when department who issues our licences decided they wouldn't renew mine coz they don't like the way I keep my crocs. After all these years, they've now decided my crocs have to be locked up in cages......even though Jilly has gone to a good home, she's still been locked in a pen and will not only be feeling abandoned by me, but also wondering why she's not allowed to roam freely in her new owner's yard. I can well understand her new owner not wanting a Salty roaming around his yard, however, I still feel for Jilly who won't understand why she's been locked up now. I will look into starting up a go fund me or crowd funding page to try and raise funds to keep the 2 crocs I still have here......I can't lose Johnie...... Thank you once again for your support......love and all the best to you too Helen xxx

[@TheCroclady]

[@TheCroclady]

Thank you peyton mander, for your heartfelt comment.....I really appreciate it. I love my crocs, as you can see, and have raised them as part of my family. They were bred & hatched in captivity and rather than keeping them in locked enclosures just to be "gawked" at by humans, I've allowed them to roam freely in my home & on my property and integrate to become part of my family. I respect them and they respect me......simple...... just a shame there are so many people out there, including authorities, who don't like and don't approve of the way I care for my crocs. So, thank you again for your supportive comment......means a lot to me xx

I adopted her when she was 3 years old & raised her for the following 11 years, slowly earning her trust in me & bonded with her.

Very few people can understand or relate to the bond I had with Jilly coz she’s a Crocodile. Thank you again for your lovely reply. xxx

@@elizaa3523 Thank you so much for your positive comment Eliza & I'm so glad you like my videos & they've had a positive effect on you. It's so true how the majority of people have such a negative opinion & see crocs as just instinctive killers. We all know how dangerous crocs can be, especially Salties like Jilly, however, I've discovered another side to these beautiful animals. When raised in a captive environment & treated with love, kindness & respect, crocs are capable of bonding with their keeper & appear to have a gentle & sensitive side to them & are very intelligent animals too. After all, they are over 80 million years old unchanged & survived the ice age ! Mankind has managed to nearly destroy our beautiful world in such a short time.......and we believe we're intelligent ?? :)

Now this broked my heart.... I have a pet pigeon, rescued on the street last year, that she chooses to stay with us, she was so sick I didn't thought she will make it...but she is in a perfect shape now... She is a wild bird now, but she is still coming home, twice at day and she is feeling so comfortable with us, she never forgot her home... So I understand your pain, I can imagine what you are going through.... Just hope and pray that one day, when this harder and harder life on this Earth is over, we will all be together in the Father's house.. maybe not as...."humans and beasts" , but surely in a much better shape.... Sending blessings and love to you from Paris 🤗❤️🙋 Sorry about my English

I loved reading about the pigeon you saved.....I have saved many animals of different species here in Australia and they've all shown how grateful they are when I've re-released them back to the wild.......you can see it in their eyes ! As for Jilly, I raised her for over 10 years, from a 3 year old to 13 year old, so you can imagine the bond I had with her......it's nice to know some people, like yourself, can understand how broken hearted I am in having to give her up.

I’m sure Jilly is looking for you each and everyday. God bless you for keeping those animals healthy. May God. Bless you and those crocs.

I can well relate to how you're feeling......I cried everyday too for the first coupla weeks after losing Jilly, and still cry when thinking of her, even though I know she's still alive.......I cry coz I know she's suffering psychologically and no-one understands.......I can feel her sadness & confusion & wondering what she did wrong, for me to abandon her like that. As an animal lover, I have lost many beloved pets like yourself, who have passed away over the years and it hurts so much, so I know what you're going through. You are so right in saying people don't understand the stress an animal goes through when separated from their owner, especially the wildlife officers who demanded I re-home Jilly......they have no idea of the stress they've caused Jilly and I......and nor do they care either. Anyway, I do hope you'll be feeling a little better soon and thank you again for your thoughts and prayers and support.

[@TheCroclady]

Probably best not to do that Jacob coz I'm currently battling in court to keep Johnie & Fovian and the wildlife dept are watching me closely, including my facebook etc.....so best not to for now......maybe later though.....thanks for the thought to help me though.....I really appreciate it :)

That is terrible that they made you give away a pet you raised for over 10 years. I hope that they are least take good care of Jilly and that she lives a long life.

[@TheCroclady]

Yep.....I still can't believe I was forced to re-home Jilly......the wildlife officers don't believe you can have reptiles, especially crocodiles as pets......which is ridiculous coz I know heaps of people who keep reptiles as pets as well as myself for the past 50 years. I know it's unusual to keep crocs as pets but I've been doing it for 30 years now & love my crocs to bits. i'm missing Jilly terribly & she no doubt is missing me & feeling confused as to why she's been re-homed. Her new owners are good people and know a lot about crocs too. However, they deal with wild caught crocs & Jilly is very much a domesticated croc who responds to gentle care etc. I just hope Jilly adapts to her new home which I'm sure she will eventually.

@@TheCroclady she will mum, soon enough, and maybe something real good will come from this adventure. Perhaps a go fund me page to help you out? Who can't use money? Advertising is the key, people need to see how you need help with these reptiles and maybe they can support you better?

Hi, have you seen Kojak the 440 pound pet croc in Indonesia that was raised as a pet from a baby, he's now in a zoo I believe, but he's a really big boy, you can check him out here on KZbin.

[@TheCroclady]

No, I haven't seen Kojak, but will check him out when I get a chance xx

[@dreammaker3239]

Lady, You should thank the Government for saving your ass. A croc for a pet...if he so tamed why feed him with tongs? Because you know if you don't you will lose your hands. I understand the attachment but get real. One day if you still had this dangerous-thing they would have found you dead and in pieces. These animals are wild and I'm glad that you weren't his next meal.

[@20footAmethystinePython]

She feeds *HER* (croc is female) with tongs because the crocodile might *ACCIDENTALLY* bite her arm off, and she raised it as a baby, I understand what your trying to say but I’m just saying, crocodiles are not monsters and they aren’t out to kill because they feel like it, they are the most intelligent reptile and they have strong bonds with their owners, don’t believe me, look at Gatorland’s fully grown male Nile crocodile act like a puppy to that one guy, and see how the croc let her touch her, they aren’t monsters, that’s all I’m saying
