What dose everyone think would be the (most) common medical problems associated with keeping caiman in captivity and what treatment would they or did they use?

I would have to say "pneumonia" brought about by miscalculated or accidental chills or cold spells.

It isn't "Ideas" that fail or succeed,... it is the "Systems" which are instilled to launch and sustain the idea that either fail or succeed.>[Me.]

Pneumonia in snakes manifests itself mainly (there are others but this the most clear sign) by constant drooling from the mouth how do you recognise it in crocodilians and are the symptoms and treatments (rising heat etc similar) ?????????.
Thanks for your thoughts
