They have attacked people quite a lot in the past see Attenbrough do programmes on them and they have tons of bacteria so even if you escape chances are you will die a horrible death!

They are perfectly capably of killing people however i think theres only one or two fully documented cases where it actually happened,

In a few areas they are known for digging up graves and consuming the corpses...

And no i wouldnt keep them to dangerous would much rather get a croc monitor
