I can recommend you a lady from Forida. She actually advertises here on kingsnake. I bought my baby dwarf from her. The baby is doing great. eating rat pinkies,mice pinkies,crickets, fish. Very healthy and growing. The baby is CBB by the way. You get them at about 10 to 14 inches in length. She ships to US and the price is great. Its $125, $185 shipped. If you are interested, Let me have your email address so I can mail you her info and you can talk more about her dwarfs with her.

Finding an O. tet in teh us private trade is very hard. Best of luck though. I kick myself for not picking up a hatchling O. tet when i had the chance 5 yrs ago. Stupid caiman looked better (lol, i love her anyhow).

Paul Bodnar (whom just moved to Florida recently) breeds and sells O. Tetraspis. I think his babies usually run 600.00 each.

Hahaha, you are right, I did talk about a dwarf caiman. Talk about reading fast All I saw was dwarf, so I replied. Nevertheless, I dont like coming back empty handed. Here is a website you might want to check out: http://www.naturecoastexotics.com/crocodilians_
The guy is selling everything but the dwarf crocodile. You might have seen his web site, you might have not. Check it out. Email the guy and ask him if he ever gets them in or knows of anyone that does. good luck
