Hiya Noofy,

Firstly, how old are you?
Secondly, I can see the animals you currently keep in your profile, have you had other experience and/or is this more of a future plan?

Caiman, even Cuvier's dwarf caiman are a pretty serious animal to house and deal with, are you really aware of what you're asking for!?

well by law you have to be 18 and have public liability insurance, the rest is up to your individual council, so best to contact them.

Serious animal alright
Make sure when you go to buy one you have pretty much started on the final enclosure. I've been at mine for quite some time, if I had more free time and money it'd be finished by now.
Only thing left is the construction of the pond and finishing touches to the land area as well as a couple of extractor fans. Once that's done I've to buy the filters, heaters and lights. And an alarm system.
I might even contemplate on a live video feed upload at some point in the future in the new home to check up on them online but I'll see.

I'm looking at getting pond filters, I have a fluval fx 5 filter on my fish tank with 300 liters in it so I'm looking at a pond filter to manage 6000liters but will only have about 3000 to 4000 liters in the pond.
I'll be putting in a waste pipe at the bottom before I start moulding the pond's concrete so that I can empty the pond on a regular basis.

Yeah, just researching for possible plans in the far future.
Was simply interested in what was invovled to get the license etc, i've looked on government web pages and found that you have to be major tight on security!
Thanks for all the posts,
Cheers
