Hey all ...im sure a lot of you are going to object to me getting one

but its ok . becoz thats not the plan

im just wondering if anyone on here has any exsperiance with dwarf caiman? my local pet shop has one in there ive been enqiring into it and he is telling me that thry take ages to grow (6 yrs=22inches) i just wanna know if this is true?
and he said it would happily live in an enclosure 6x3x3 for about 5-6 years as long as its got deep water and a basking land spot?

just wanna know if this is all true or a loada balls?

any info guys, anything at all

cheers everyone

all i know is that they grow to a maximum of about 4feet, a shop near me has one in 6x4x4 and caiman is about 3.5ft and owner said he prob wont grow anymore.

dont know if thats what your after but thats all i know and obviously you need DWA license

with crocadilians isnt it true that they will never outgrow their enclosure (to an extent i.e. a nile croc wont live in a 4 ft viv lol)

I've had experience with 1 Dwarf Caiman, 4 Juv Specs, 5 adult specs and a full grown American Alligator

Finally have 3 Female Fire Belly Toads- for breeding purposes! will start my breeding soon - then will be selling at £5 each or 10 for £30.00

They are great to look after, 2 of our juv caiman are hand tame. With proper precautions obviously.

if you find out what species it is you'll get a better answer, I am sure there are two or more dwarf species. I'd expect it to be a cuviers, so have a nose about

ive been caring for two for a few months, i treat them like a very dangerious monitor etc.. you only hold or interact when you have to... these two really like to charge you when you open to doors at the previous manager used to make them jump out to feed or so ive heard...

they really need a 7x10 to conform with dwa i belive but you can get away with different sizes.
