Dwarf Died.
Hi everyone, thought I’d leave a quick update on that young caiman that I had found laying on his back under his heat this morning I again woke up too find my dwarf laying near the "hot spot" of his cage lifeless but this time there was no reviving him. As far as I can tell overheating is the only thing that could have happened if he was healthy, but what I don’t understand is why he did not leave the hot spot and move too the cooler end of the cage. The cage was a few degrees higher then normal due too a new lamp that apparently was a bit hotter then the last bit even then it only brought the warm end of the water from 85F up too 90F. But that is where I found him lifeless. I have heard that caimans are talented thermo regulators so why would he stay in the heat until it killed him, or is it likely there was another cause?? I am quite disappointed in this he made such a good comeback from the first incident. I'm not sure if i will be trying another one, I was quite discouraged by this one.
