No it's not allowed in multiple states they are wild animals and aren't to be considered as pets i also believe it is a felony to illegally own one. From Jadesbros: While this may be true in some countries, in The Northern Territory of Australia, Pet crocodiles can be bought and kept as long as the correct permit is obtained. ONLY CROCODILES TO 60CM IN LENGTH CAN BE KEPT AS PETS. Young crocodiles are relatively fragile, so when deciding to keep a crocodile as a pet, it is important to consider the care that crocodiles require in captivity. There are two species of crocodiles that may be kept as pets, saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) and freshwater crocodiles (Crocodylus johnstoni). Both species require similar conditions in captivity. Crocodiles are potentially very dangerous animals. For this reason, there are specific guidelines that must be adhered to when keeping a crocodile as a pet. Construction standards are necessary for all animal enclosures to ensure that the captive animal does not escape and that it is housed in a humane manner. This is a particularly important consideration when keeping a potentially dangerous animal.

ReneYou can - provided you do some research into their needs before getting one. Things to consider are: Will the rest of your family accept a snake as a pet. Do you know how to take proper care of it. Who will look after it when you go away on holiday. Are you prepared to feed it on dead mice, rats or even rabbits. Is it likely to eat - or be eaten by - other pets you already have ('accidents' do happen !
It is unsure, If yes, it can take years to domesticate a crocodile. There was a crocodile named Pocho and his human friend Chito were best friends, he actually swam, played, and wrestled with him. But unless you can wait years and years, and take bites, scratches, and tail hits, don't try to domesticate one.
