Hey Danny,

Good to meet ya over a kingsnake forum . I don't know how close your caimans are in appearance to this guy because I haven't seen them. But he/she definately isn't a brown. As Mr. Dupont pointed out the patterns not one that belongs to either fuscus or crocodilus, and only some latirostris keep banding on the bottom jaw. That probably shouldn't be a solid indication of what it is. Fuscus do have a green hue to their eye colour, but we can't judge that based on a photograph as camera flashes do wonders for distortion. My biggest hint and what got me looking twice was the head shape. Broad Snouted Caiman is called so for a reason :P. I stand by my call but lets ask the owner, as he's probably having as much fun reading this as we are talking about it..

Thanks Guys,

KyLE
