Hi,
The crocodilian which reaches the smallest adult size is Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman ( Paleosuchus Palpebrosus ). For the largest adult sized crocodilian...there are 2 species that could possibly hold this...the Orinoco Crocodile and the Australin Saltwater Crocodile, I'm not 100% sure which holds the record...there are probably written records of both being enormous =).

What is the recommended cage size for an adult dwarf ? ?
Also, if i was to get a baby dwarf caimen, how long till he grew out of a 75 gallon aquarium?

Thanks
