Hi Forum,

I am not a crocodilian owner as of yet. I have been doing some research and trying to learn as much as I can. I have owned large constrictors as well as a few water monitors which I absolutely love. Overall I have my water monitors set up much like a crocodilian would be, the only difference is that they are fully enclosed in their cages and most likely the crocodilian will not be. I have been considering a dwarf caiman. I understand they have a bit of a temper, but they stay smaller and they are awesome looking animals from what I have seen. I am wondering if their are any owners of dwarf caimans in here, and if so, do you have any recommendations as of a breeder? Also if you have any advice that would be great as well.

Furthermore, if anyone happens to have any pictures of adult specimens in their enclosures, that would be fantastic. I would like to be a responsible owner, so I would appreciate anybodys opinions on these particular specimens and once again, if anyone happens to have any advice that would be helpful for my reference, I would be very appreciative.

Thank You to all that reply,

Stanley

Rick,

Thank you for posting the picture. That's smaller than I was actually imagining. I was also viewing your posts on the filter. About how effective is that filtration system and about how much did it run you for the parts? If and when I get my caiman I will probably set it up much in the aspect of having a filtration sytem like that.

Thanks again,
Stan
