especially when they crap...its like rabbit pellets (ish), but 50-100 little green rasin things....Running water means they get everywhere.

And they have to be fished out for hygene. As the caiman grows the pellet size does, but theres still loads to clear up!

Yeah, a caimans water can take on the oily residue from cack very very quickly.

no offence to any keepers but I find them a tad boring. A lot of effort and expense for something that you may catch moving or out of it's water twice a month if you're lucky

Much more rewarding captives (for me) available.

can get you that species of caiman at under £250 for a young un (CF) . They, like most DWA, are peanuts.

Shops tend to have them to pull crowds, rather than sell animals.

Yea, mine is pretty much a statue ... lol

But never seems to go into the water , and yes I have checked if its dead before anyone asks, and yes the water temp is ok.

Thanks
