Here, allow me to rephrase your question for you...

"Hi Folks, I'm considering purchasing a Dwarf Caiman. I'm not really worried about keeping it 'cheap' so long as the housing method is effective, safe for the animal, and will provide the animal with sufficient space and stimulation so that it could thrive. Cost efficient would certainly be a bonus, but it is NOT a primary focus, so long as all of the aforementioned criteria are met."

And then, someone like me will come along and see that at least you're sincerely concerned about the well being of your 'pet' and might be interested in helping you out. So, in doing so, this is where I'll begin helping you out...making you read.

www.crocodilian.com/crocfaq is a good place to start on crocodilian captive husbandry.

www.crocodilian.com/paleosuchus is a good place to start when you're ready to narrow down your research into Dwarf Caimen,specifically.

Also...stop watching Swamp Brothers. It's not going to do you any favors.

I didn't mean cheap as in I cant afford very much. I was just wondering if you guys could give any pictures or ideas. Also I've already read over that entire website twice. I don't even have a caiman I'm just looking to see if any body has some different ideas.I'm just trying to be responsible. Don't get on my case for that. And whats wrong with swamp brothers its the only reptile based show out there and its awesome.

By the way, i'm just a 14 yr old kid who likes to design enclosures for reptiles especially crocodilians and turtles. won't be getting a caiman til after college.

I find it hard to believe that 96 other people thought it was a good idea to have swampbrofan as their screen name!!

I´m guessing that 97 is his birth year, since he´s 14 years old

But it´s true that the Swampbrothers way of doing things, probably is not the best way most of the time. The show is all about entertaining and not about the welfare of the animals.
All about showing off.

yea 97 is my birth year
