Dwarf Caiman ?'s
Okay so before anyone tries to talk me out of it, I am not getting a caiman right now. However I would like to know if anyone here has the experience with dwarfs of a decent enclosure size for an adult and care level to be expected. If I was to ever get one of these little guys I would be living in the south east of the country where humidity and warmth are fairly easy to find. And if I was going to do it I would not purchase on a whim, I would ensure that I could provide. Please respond with useful information not scare tactics to prevent a purchase. Thank you.

Re: Dwarf Caiman ?'s
My local shop has a caiman in a pond probably about 10x10 (including some land).

Re: Dwarf Caiman ?'s
look into red eyed crocodile skinks.. they look almost IDENTICAL to alligators.. and stay really small (most likely 10-12 inches). I've always wanted to own an alligator but then I saw these and fell in love.. they look like a mix of a dragon and alligator to me lol

Re: Dwarf Caiman ?'s
Repticzone has pretty awful information, actually. Most are written by people who have never had hands on experience.

Re: Dwarf Caiman ?'s
Unfortunately. I've seen more incorrect information in their "care sheets" than correct information.
