Are they farmed there purely for conservation or is it like here in Florida where they farm them for food and tourist stuff like alligator heads and teeth ?

Bonefish, They are used for both commercial farming (skins,meat etc) and also for conservation and tourism. In the tank area (the one with lots of crocs) there are over 2500 crocodiles!
