Feeding day at my zoo/ apartment

You have to have a certain muscle:fat ratio to be a sychronised swimmer, and I dont think he reachs' it.

Also Coura you know anyone that owns a Lace's Monitor cause I'm going to set up a reptile room and since I can get any big snakes over here, I'm going to get a laces' monitor ( reachs' 200cm ) to put in the main tank.

I just wanna know what dimensions the tank will have to be and how tame you can get them to be.

Ok, I dont know anyone here that owns a lacie as they are to my knowlege extremely rare in Europe, a few are around, more in the States. Ive read many articles and papers about their captive behavior and at least on those it apears to me that they have a rater good personality if cb and interacted with gently since a young age. They are trainable and handeable for short periods but like all big monitors require a great deal of respect as they can inflict deep bloody wonds. You dont really want to restrain it, better leave him be and he will come to check you out.
As for size of cage, you really want something room sized with many hidding places, soft substrate and climbing oportunities. Also outdoor space conected with the indoor one is highly benefecial and also saves you electricity.

Someone is making a move on ur wife LP, sick the caiman on him. O WAIT, you dont have 1. lol

Do you know "Family Guy" ? LP´s caiman project its the same as Brian´s novel that he has been working on for the past 3 years!

no its just those men that dont quite know what to call u, although im average size, im between skinny and fat, people just dont quite know what to say lol
and cuddly pops up every now and again. i hate it lol might as well just call me a fat cow.

Oh I see Well that means you probably wouldnt like a bit to be near me as I have a very sweet and nurturing side, and it makes a big part of my personality (hey but Im no push over either ). The last 2 galls I dated and fell in love with, I gave them tons of atention and hand crafted presents That of corse was before the first moving on and the second replacing me with a iranian guy with the doble of my age Men, I loved her so much but now that I look back SHEESH good ridance. Considering her personality nothing but trobble would come from her Oh well better times will come. In the mean time Im as free as a bird
BUT pythons, tarantulas, dogs, kids, you name it, hardly a problem Im very chilled out

Owwwwww...there there LP...maybe a caiman its not yourstuff, perhaps a colection of girly rainbow ponies would be more of your cup of tea

If I had such a big enclosure available I think I would go for a copple of Hydrosaurus, of mertens water monitors, of nile monitors or one water monitor. These guys have at least the decency of being tamable (perhaps with the exception of the nile) and for what Ive seen they are both more hardy and active then a caiman. Caiman lizards are cool as well but I dont know if he would like to cope with their food needs. Put in some big size basking ligths, some big cool tree branches, perhaps some hardy plants, filter and heat the water, and your good to go for any of these species. Even a group of aussi or chinese water dragons or basilisks would be more entertaining to watch then a caiman. Besides your wife may like the change in creature All of the girls Ive brough to my home, one of the lizards they allways fell for was the chinse water dragon (that is when I had some many years ago).
