Here is a pic of a 4' speciman of mine in a holding cage while I cleaned the pond out back. It's always fun to pull her out of that..

Here is a picture of when I first got her.

In a stately sense all crocodilians except American alligators are legal to have. American alligators are an endangered animal in the state of Oklahoma and need a permit to keep, such as a State Wildlife Permit (Which I have) or a Protected Species Permit.
Now with spectacle caimans and the whole ESA ordeal, Specs have to have an import/export documents and you can get introble if you can not provide the documents, in any state or country.

Its actually rather shocking to condsider the thousands of caimen that enter the pet trade every year, yet there are virtually no adults to be found.
99.9 percent of them end up down the toilet or in
a landfill...
It's something to ponder
