Default Dawf Caimens

Does anyone know any sites for keeping caimans or know any information about them?

I really like to know about them!

all i know is that if you genuinely thought a caiman was an amphibian you shouldn't be keeping one!

Hello and welcome...

check the DWA section as they will be able to point you in the right direction...

you will need to do alot of research before getting a caimen as these are a dangerous animal, are you aware you will need a licence and alot of room...

Nothing against the idea per se, but you may also find the logistics a bit heavy in terms of space and food requirements, etc!

Dwarf Caimens are still 4-5 feet minimum. Food and space are a huge problem. Coupled with you need a swimming area as well as dry land with basking space.
