Hi. I have an 8'x8' pen in my backyard in Central Florida. Could a pair of Smooth front, Spectacled, or Dwarf Caiman live peacefully in a pen this size for their entire life? Thanks. Brooks

Is there an adult Crocodilian I can keep in a 8x8 pen?

I don't think a pair would work in an enclosure that size... I may be wrong though.

I have seen adult pairs of both Dwarf and smooth front caimans maintained in enclosures no larger than 8x8ft. a number of times with apparently no detrimental effects on their health but it is not to be generally recommended although it can certainly be done with no ill effects at least some of the time.
