Dwarf Caimans

I know about maintaining them, but could someone give me a general idea on set up? I've seen some that are 50/50 and some that are mostly aquatic, but, as far as I've read, they're more land inclined than water, so the set up seems to be a 'one person to the next' kind of thing...

Could someone post pictures or describe theirs and what's worked best by far?

Re: Dwarf Caimans

Any ideas at all? I've continued to read and I still find conflicting information. Some people say half land half aquatic, some people do mostly aquatic with a little strip of basking land... and I know the species are more terrestrial than other crocodilian species, but isn't this in adult age? So, for hatchling stage should it be mostly aquatic and add more land as it ages?

Generally as babies we give them mostly water with a few basking areas on land, then as they age they get about 3/4's water and 1/4 land.

Thanks very much! My new baby should be arriving in the next couple of days and I just needed to know how to set up the tank land vs water wise.
