so u got it from jay too? cool! arrive in good condition?

looks flawless. Claudia was purchased from him too. good price. how big? did u get it sexed?
nah mine wasn't sexed
but i named it Pustulio
ya jay seems like a great guy responded to my emails insanely quick, perfect packaging, and a great price :D
its around 12 inches i haven't really measured it but i expected way smaller since i had no idea how big it would be and that it was born this year
this caiman was well worth the many years i have waited :D
 
He responded quickly? lol. It took him months to get back to me. When he did he was quick about it. Claudia was $250 shipped, and arrived with her mouth wide open. she was PISSED. lol. He sold me her as 19" but she was actually larger. closer to 21 or so inches. she is from last years clutch. she was much bigger than her tankmates. I couldnt believe she came in with 0 marks. and ur right. worth all the wait. my build was worth 11 months of work, and years of research and lust. lol

ur talking to the owner. crowe is the owner
 
i just now tried to measure him(or her) and he(or she) is around 15-16 inches and he was $240 shipped :D
jay responded to all of my emails within a couple hours after i sent them :)
what all do you feed your caiman? i have a night crawlers, pinkie mice, and mealworms
he put one nightcrawler away a couple hours ago but then i guess he got stressed out and stopped eating so im going to let him get used to his new enclosure a couple days before i offer anymore food lol
 
she is eatting chicken gizzards and hearts atm. she took forever to start eatting. but she did finaly start and is doin well now.

dont be supprised if he/she doesnt eat for awhile.

not too sure about that, unless he bought it... but ne ways i gotta get up their to check out the exhibits when they are open!! so cool...
 
i had not thought about using organ meat
i had caught some crayfish and minnows before the caiman arrived but i released them because i didn't feel it would be safe to use WC feeders....mostly because im paranoid lol
