I’m looking for suggestions on having my croc skin tanned a natural croc green color for boots and other wearables. Thank you in advance for all help.

I have had several alligator skins done by American Tanning Company in Griffin, GA. They have always done a great job. I’m sure they could do a croc skin as well.
 
from Wyfox's suggestion

That isn't unreasonable. Ive seen far higher prices then that.
 
I would also be glad to help you. We just got back an 11'9 alligator that we had tanned for a client. I will post pictures in the near future I just haven't had time yet.
 
Nice idea. I would like to see some croc come out with its natural colour.

I just bought a piece of Croc hornback for display that is brown. It was $125 posted with a permit listed on used guns. Probably the closest I will get to having a crocodile hide. Everything native here is protected.

Unfortunately crocs and gators that get tanned for leather goods in the white, don’t retain their natural/living colors and are ready for a coloured dye.

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
