Good for you for saving the caiman. However, keep in mind if you've never owned a caiman that they are a hell of a lot faster than alligators on thier strike. I hope you get to keep all your fingers. I used to know quite a few caiman owners on Long Island missing tips of fingers, or even whole digits from stupidity or underestimating the animal. That farm sounds like a good place to send your animals, good luck!

you should've tried busting him for releasing it into a local pond. all you'd need is a tape recorder, call him back in a half hour, and talk it over with him again then send the tape to the cops with his name/store location, i bet. Scumbags like that don't deserve to be running pet stores.

that farm looks awesome. I also gotta say that I'm impressed with anyboby who keeps a crococilian at all. Th only ones I touch are the ones at the museum where I work sometimes.
