Yeah me to.They are stunning animals.

they have been "comming off" for longer than i have been alive!

I can think of countless species that should not be on DWA but at the end of the day i can see nothing changing.

yer they are but not to active from what i'v be told. im wanting to get one but getting a dwa is putting me of if it was a one of fee i would consider it but as its a yearly fee i am not. i wouldn't mind paying a one of fee and having random checks done by a vet every year or something but a yearly bill no thanks. for now ill stick to my monitors

Dont think it will happen, could be a few id issues with other caimans and even other crocs to the untrained eye. They are also able to do a lot of damage and can and do hit 5'+.
Id love to keep these along with chinese dwart gators and african dwarf crocs.

I think the DWA needs to be looked at before they take off and add more to it.

I dont think that any crocodilian should be readily available without any kind of control.

I doubt it. The DWA was reviewed in October 2007, which led to changes in the Schedule of species. The current review awaited relates to the licence itself, not the species covered.

There is no truth in the suggestion they will be deleted from the DWAA schedule.

Anyone with any experience with the species in question will tell you the idea is laughable!

These guys may be the smallest crocodilian, but they are a serious business and pack a very dangerous bite. They are much faster and more agile than you might imagine...
If you had seen the potential level of extreme aggression and defensiveness of this 5' crocodilian, you would know the hearsay is pure nonsense.
