Thanks Andy, was just a general idea wasnt quite sure as not many care sheets on them, least of all the enclosures. Not sure if i will commit to one as just researching, probaly wait to see them in person. Be nice to know what i need though.

Thanks

You will find there is very little in the way of caresheets for this type of animal. Most people who keep them generally have learn't through experience or through the experience of others they know rather than through books or caresheets. Rather than asking general questions ask specific questions about specific species and you will find forum members like Fangsy and Scales and fangs will be able to share both positive and negative experiences they have encountered.

For info: check out crocodilian.com. There is a FAQ section that has heaps of info about keeping caimans. Also, crocodilian.com/paleosuchus has lots of info on dwarf caimans.
If you need a book, I have some copies of 'The Ultimate Guide to Crocodilians in Captivity' new books, signed by the author for 12 quid incl. postage.
For enclosures, you can use the Waterland turtle tubs for young caimans, but of course, you need to modify these a bit for security purposes regarding the DWA licencing.
