Jirma,
This is a great description. Could you explain where you got each of the animals from or what they are like / how they behave?

The crocodile i got it from Ewaso Ng'iro river about 200 kms away.In the first one month it did not feed but after i introduced mud fish it started feeding.The tortoises which are all leopard tortoises were rescued from Gambela a farming village 10 km away.Most have broken shells and this can be attributed to the harsh treatment they got from farmers.The fresh water terrapins were collected along Isiolo River basin.
