What is the biggest pet reptile you could see yourself keeping someday?

Pictured is Cassius, a saltwater crocodile at the Marineland Crocodile Park in Queensland, Australia. He currently holds the Guinness World Record for largest living crocodile in captivity, which also makes him the largest living reptile in the world. He’s estimated to have been between 30 and 80 years old when he was captured in 1984.

While I currently have an extensive reptile collection at home and I’m grateful to my parents for supporting my hobby and basically letting me turn a portion of the house into a zoo, the one pet reptile that they’ve expressly forbade me from getting is a crocodilian (and ofc venomous snakes, but that’s a given). That being said, I know in my heart that I want to keep a pet crocodile someday, and as a future surgeon, I also know that I’ll have the resources for one in about a decade or so. I plan to have a saltwater crocodile (they’re readily available in my country since they’re a native species) just like Cassius and I even plan to build a similar setup to what Cassius is currently being kept in, if not bigger. It won’t be kept in my house of course (while it’s still small, sure) but in one of our farms. Who knows, I might just turn it into a full on crocodile farm haha.

How about you, what’s the biggest reptile you could see yourself keeping someday (doesn’t have to be in the near future), and have you thought about the logistics like I have?
