The crocodile generally move from the water to the nest site, they move about 10m out of the water , and then move another ten meters towards the nest site, and lie before moving into the brushes.

The hatchlings stay in their eggs for 55 to 110 days. They are 7 to 10 inches 17.8 to 25.4 centimeters long when they are born and don't mature until they are 4 to 15 years.
