Spectacled Caiman

[snakemann87]

Hey everyone.....at the past reptile show I came across an American Alligator(yes I know the title says CAIMAN). WELL....I asked how old and he said about 4yrs of age and only like 3ft! Now I found that awesome........

I REALLY REALLY want a Crocodilian of some sort......so I did some research. The average size for Gators is about 4-5 meters.......WAY TOO LARGE! Now I did MORE research and read Spectacled Caimans reach about 1-2 meters average...that is reasonable.

So if this information is true I am going to start saving up for a laaaaaarge aquarium to accomodate this Caiman. I'm looking to get it in about 2-3years about.

Does anyone own them? How much did they cosT? Hows their temperment?

Thanks
