Default DWA Caimen

I've read quite a bit on preparing for DWA snakes etc, but say if it was a caimen, would it be just the same kind of specially built and secured room (obviously with the other procedures etc) and how would you go about training to work with them?

I always liked them, and I think if I ever did decide to go into DWA things, then this would definatly be something I'd love to have.

(Obviously if I was to decide to apply for DWA it would be a long time away due to living at home atm and going to uni in a year or so plus whatever preparing I need to do)

Depending where you live a DWAL could cost you quite a bit each yer but after seeing hundreds of gators while on holiday I'am guessin a dwarf caiman would be a great animal to look after. I still don't really understand why a 3-4ft caiman is on the DWA though?
Tell you one thing though your gonna need a hell of a filter to clean the water .

Maybe because they are a dangerous wild animal and have one of the highest bite pressures per square inch !!
