thinking about a cuviers
Hey! I've been reading and researching on dwarf caimens for a while, and finally thought I was ready to keep one. I want to get a hatchling at about 11'' long and keep it in a 60 gallon aquarium for a while with a heat lamp, bricks for the surface, and maybe a water heater if needed. When it hits about 1 - 2 feet long, of course it's going to have already outgrown the cage, I will keep it in a 300 - 400 gallon horse trough with a pexi-glass and wire mesh top with hinges for easy opening. I already looked for these at a local feed store, and they run about $200. I have everything worked out with food, too. I buy pinkies and hoppers for my hognose snake and savannah monitor, so that isn't a problem. I buy small rats for my ball python. And crickets, mealworms, silkworms, waxworms, and roaches for my geckos, frogs, and savannah monitor. All I have to do is like double the quantity on these items, and that is no problem. If there is anything I'm missing, let me know =P. Thanks
