:headbang2Not too much started but its a start. Thanks to my In-laws in owning a home building company(shamless plug, Homes by Keystone, located in Waynesboro Pa) for hooking me up with lumber for substantially cheaper than Home Depot or Lowes could do.:headbang2:D Its gonna take quite a while to finish, its gonna be a slow build, but ill post updates when i get them. Also my kittys and dog have been running around and distracting me but gotta love them. Figured id throw in some pics of those little guys as well. lol. Tum(the gray and white one) keeps climbing the dog's cage in the basement.:screwy:

Which one? the one the cats climbing or the enclosure?
The final size for the build will be 13' long by 10' wide by 6' tall. external mesurements. The inside for the caiman will only be 4' tall though. the dogs cage is 59" wide, 10' long and almost 6' tall. lol. she throws a fit in a kennel so she gets that in the basement instead.

With that space, why not go with Spectacled caimans? More active and outgoing than Paleosuchus...
