Markus would to work with caimens again, he used to look after a dwarf caimen at the shop he managed.... I think he'd prefer getting one to getting any DWA snakes

Even though they are pretty boring... until feeding time

Ive got three. Two dwarfs and a specy. The cost alot to maintain. By the time you paid for a good enclousure ,filter heater, uv, basking lamps. Its time to start building a bigger one. They grow very quick when you get them first. Do your research. If you weigh up all the pros and cons and you still want one then go for it.

Mine is still quite reluctant to eat, but is putting weight on , it eats locusts but I have to put the pinkies in its mouth and its quite a struggle as most of the time he walks away.

But seems to be once it is in his mouth then he eats it.

Dwarfs are very shy. My first dwarf was like that, i found by putting loads of fake leaves on and around the land. For at least 3 month he wouldnt eat infront of me.

Yea, his environment is full of greenery ..... Hopefully he will come out of his shell soon so to speak ...

I have seen him eating locusts, but its a hard job trying to feed him pinkies.....

And there are fish in the water but he has never eaten any of those .....
