They gave him a fake tan

Is that his TAIL on the bottom right? It's huge!

[jagman]

This Croc has camouflaging capabilities? Or hes ate a bunch of pumpkins? Or it could be an Allergic reaction?

My guess is that something in its diet has triggered the colour change... or it's fallen into some paint/ink.

"Snappy the crocodile is ready for halloween a month ahead of schedule"

"I think it caused the pH levels in his water to soar which has led to the change in color,"

High levels of beta-carotene can do this to birds, mammals, fish. Perhaps reptiles too.

IMO this physical change is one of the many changes heading our way. According to Drunvalo Melchizedek, humans will become 10-15 feet tall and skin color will be different. My only concern would be that it'll only happen to some of the population and not everyone. That's going to be a bummer considering that there's so much prejudice already. But on a positive note, we're supposed to evolve. It'll be very interesting times; that's for sure. Let the changes begin....!
BTW I think the croc looks nicer in orange....
