Hey guys!

I am considering the purchase of a dwarf Caiman (Palpebrosus). I dont want a "baby", but I would prefer one at least 2ft. I am wondering if someone could recommend a good and reasonably priced breeder? I would like to take a look at some stock that they have and learn a little more about the breeding and such of the species. From what I understand, very little is known about their breeding behavior except how the female builds her nests. I am currently getting the second enclosure together, and ready, so I won't get it until then, but would like some suggestions on some breeders with a good track record.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris

Rick,

Thanks for the link, actually I was reading it earlier. I wasn't aware that this individual is a breeder here in the states as well? Did you purchase yours from him or somewhere else?

Thanks,

Chris

I really don´t know if he breeds them, but when I mail him (about 1 year ago) he gave me a lot of good information about dwarfs...
