I hope he never forgets to feed it before going out to play.

The croc would remain well-fed all the same, I think.
 
I just don't think what he's doing is very smart. I won't be surprised if he ends up much worse off than the girl in my previous post. I've already seen some clip of a guy putting his arm in a croc's mouth, it didn't go too well for him...
