Human revealed that the crocodiles were, in fact, his pets that went missing.
"They are the most gorgeous pets," he said.
According to Human, the crocodiles escaped after a worker at home left a gate open, which led the crocodiles to wander off.
"The small one was found in the neighbours’ pool; Croc City recovered him yesterday," said Human.
The SPCA recovered the second croc. The Krugersdorp man also took the opportunity to commend the great work of the SPCA.

The crocodiles were first spotted at a tollgate near Hammanskraal, looking ill and exhausted, when Dave saved them from being sold.
"In the interim, they were staying at the pool in the estate, where a lot of young people live, and we created a crocodile pit for them."
This is where the crocodiles escaped from.
Luckily, Knuckles and Fang, the crocs, are both safe.
