Suburban UK Crocodile Dundee

It may seem a fairly ordinary suburban bungalow but behind the net curtains Chris Weller shares his home with some less than ordinary housemates.

Weller, the UK's very own Crocodile Dundee, spent 20,000 pounds converting his flat to accommodate Caesar, a four-and-a-half foot caiman, Hector, a six foot monitor lizard and Rocky the iguana.

Weller has moved into the loft, leaving his scaly friends in the penthouse, replete with TV and pool.

[Chris Weller, Reptile Owner]:

"I would say for a normal person no, simply because you have to provide the accommodation. I'm fortunate I can do that, and that's why I can have animals such as this, but they're not the sort of thing you can keep. As a baby they look very nice in an aquarium, but unfortunately they don't last as babies for very long and they do grow quite quickly."

Hector has turned out to be a bit of a lounge lizard, so Weller keeps him on a diet.

[Chris Weller, Reptile Owner]:

"He will eat anything you put in front of him so you got to be careful not to overfeed him, so I only now feed him three (3) days a week to try and keep his weight down, because he's not the most... he doesn't like exercise, he doesn't need to hunt for his food anymore and therefore has become rather lazy."

Caesar could still grow to 7 feet as a mature adult, and to be on the safe side, Weller, a retired civil servant, has cctv cameras and a latch on the croc-flap.

So far the pets tolerate each other, if they don't actually socialize.

Weller has a generous visiting policy and the neighbors seem happy to rub shoulders with the suburban reptiles

Even if they have been slow to snap up the offer of a bite in front of the TV.
