Just wanted to mention an interesting sight at a local exotic petshop. Popped in there yesterday and saw their new verrucosus.
They seem like the most bizarre halfway house between (my idea of) verrucosus and (my idea of) shanjing.
They are as big as my large adult Him Crocs but not as fat. The overall gross body size and shape is Him Croc.
But the bumps on the sides (sorry, don't know a name for these) and the look of the tail is s-o-o-o-h much like my Emperors.
Anyway, the point is that when I first read the Him Croc care sheet I thought it odd that the two species were once considered to be the same animal. How could anyone confuse that with this I'd tell myself, as I moved between my Crocs and my Emps? Now I see how!!!
(By the way, the animals in question are WC from Vietnam. They are being kept terrestrially with a small-ish water bowl.)
