Hi everyone,

just wanted to show some pictures of my spectacled caiman enclosures:

1. Indoor enclosure for larger specimens (approx. 9.5 x 9.5 ft water area, approx 9.5 x 4 ft land area)

Hope you enjoy,
Thomas

1. Indoor enclosure for larger specimens (approx. 9.5 x 9.5 ft water area, approx 9.5 x 4 ft land area)

2. Indoor enclosure for juvenile specimens (9 x 3 x 4 ft, l x w x h)

3. Outdoor enclosure (approx. 28 x 21 ft)

3. Outdoor enclosure (approx. 28 x 21 ft)

Man those are some very nice enclosures. I love specs I have a 4 foot one. I wish here in pa we had a long enough warm season for an outdoor enclosure. Can you give more details on the large indoor enclosure and how it was built especially the pond. I am trying to build something big in the near future.

Thanks!

The pond of the indoor enclosure is basically made of metal plates which were welded and then coated with epoxy resin. The epoxy resin is food safe and very durable. If you have any further questions just let me know!

I am no good with metal and welding. What kind of epoxy did you use? would it work on wood or cement? Once again very nice enclosure wish I could build that....
