These pictures are when i fist got him released him onto his basking area.I never seen him chill on his basking spot not once since i got him?The lil booger is pretty shy,He spends most of his time underwater and in between the two rocks with his head popping out.When he sees me or hears me unlock the door then he hides underneath the cave,right where the second rock is located.Hope he snaps out of this stage and gets more active more like fangsy's caiman.enjoy!

He looks healthy enough ....

thay say that once they get over a year old , or over 1 ft in length , thats when they get more aggresive and harder to handle.

I have just had a thought ........

I think you need to give him / her a hide , I have a hide on the land area ,

also some floating plants in the water area , I have this and mine likes to swim under and come up into the floating plants...

Just a thought ....

totally agree with Steve

you need to get more stuff in the water and a hide on the land area for him to hide in.

All crocodilians at that age will spend most of their time under cover in and around the waters edge.

This may be a really really stupid question(im pretty new to all this) but i take it you do need a DWA to own a dwarf caiman?
