She dumped husband to share tub with crocodile

Melbourne: Some pet owners have enough trouble getting the dog out for a walk...but imagine dealing with a crocodile!

Crocodile enthusiast Vicki Lowing of Melbourne, Australia takes her 14-year-old crocodile to stretch his legs.

Inside her home she has more crocs...one is in the tub.

Another croc is too big to stay inside so a she has a tank for this 8-footer - just a baby - in the garage.  

She says, " A lot of people have asked me, like my mum and  said 'get rid of her ,she's too costly, why do you want her, blah blah. But I love her you know, she's only a baby, she's beautiful. Animals respond to love. They know, you know?"

There's also a cat in the house but it keeps its distance and avoids any fights.

Last year Vicki Lowing got an ultimatum of sorts from her husband...either Johny the crocodile or him.

But the bond was too strong so Vicki divorced her husband, letting her scaly potentially dangerous pets have a run of the house.
