The new one , same day , this is what I was trying to explain to you , but the new one was over a foot when I got it .... and a relentless killer from day one ...

PAYPAL - NOT A PROBLEM !

I just found the pinky i thought he ate.Is their any way i can stimulate this lil guy to eat.i know for sure the last time he ate was on saturday and i fed him a chunk of beef.And i contact the seller and said that she just left feeder fish in the enclosure for them to eat.How cruel of them not to feed them a varied diet.so if anyone can help or give me ideas on how to stimulate his feeding i will highly appreciate it.

what temps are you basking spot and water? i used two spots one above a certain spot in the water with a ''fixed'' cork bark raft... then one on the land area...

what are yoou using to feed?

landing area is at 93 rite now and water is 80's.i just talk to the seller again and she told me she was feeding them fish feeders and crickets and the hatchling was born 4 months ago on april 1st 2008.so do you guys think he is too young to eat meaty foods.I'll go out and get some crickets and see if he eats them.cause i had a smooth front caiman prior to this one and he ate everything you can feed them with no problems at all.

i wouldnt have strayed from them anyway imo these can be one of the (if not the) best way of getting nurtients (mirco and macro)and clacium into your animal.

do you think i should take some water out he's in a 100 gallon tank.i got about 50 gallons in it right now.

You could try and contact
Peter Heathcote @

He's probably Britains leading expert on all things croc/cami/gav/ali etc......
Well if he ain't he got him on speed dial....... Worth knowing if you want reassurance or a bloody good vet

My caiman loves to just relax in shallow water most the time. In my opinion you should either remove alot of water or set up something under the land area that he can keep his head above water and belly on the ground. I'd think he would like that alot.

Example: Lower the water level about 2-3 inches. Buy a small acrylic box or something, that gives about 4-5 inches of space under your land area. Cover it in pebbles like the rest of your tank. Leaving about 2 inches open air under the land. Make it so the water area is no deeper then a inch & half. It would be very nice hide for him as he can sleep in the water while laying comfortably and feeling secure.

Finnaly seen my darn caiman eat some damn crickets.so i guess he is used to eating crickets and fish feeders just like the seller said.

yeah nice one matey, now keep him on them and introduce pinkies twice a week...
make sure your guttloading your crix 0r dusting he may be in need of some good vitamins...

good luck and get some updated pics Jon
