I have been researching and thinking about taking the plunge for two years now, I have bough every book on their care I can find, and now I have both the space to keep one and the largest Waterland Tub I can find for its Water area and intial set-up, but man I cannot find one online anywhere. Who sells these suckers, I have checked Kingsnake and fuanuaclassifieds to no avail
 
Hey man, i dont know if you ever been to a reptile expo, but theres one that rolls through town here in kc about 4 times a year and theres always a couple people with dwarf caimens. You might try lookin up online and see if theres a reptile expo that comes through your area and check it out. I used to have a stack of busines cards from just about all the vendors that come to the one here. If i can find them ill try to remember which ones had the dwarf caimens and let ya know....if i can find em is the trick though lol.
 
Yeah we have a few smalls one and Repticon, I am actually friends with the guy who does the small shows and he just has no one breeding them that he can tap to get them in, so repticon in March might be my only shot
 
Oh surely someone involved with repticon will have one, or at least know where you can get one, i think thats probably going to be your best shot. But i wouldnt give up online, you never know when somethin is gonna pop up

x2.

Odds are that you'll be able to find some older ones from this year's clutches with enough looking, but that's preferable anyway because the neonates can be tough to keep alive.
 
Turts and torts is where claudia came from. Dude can be a p&in to email at times but he will do his best to make it right. you can probably find a year or so old one right now. I think I saw some for sale on fauna atm. Get a yearling, NOT a hatchling. Hatchlings are much more sensitive than a yearling.

Be prepared for some fun :D.

What dwarf are you looking for? Cuviers or schnieders?

Turtles and Tortoises, Inc. sometimes has them for sale; you could email them to see if they'll have them any time soon.

To be honest though, you picked a bad time to look for these caimans because most of them are bred outdoors, so they're probably out of season for most, if not all, breeders.

I am looking for a Culvier, but I am probably going to have to go with the Schneider's, since it seems according my Bud to be the only ones carried at the shows here and I would rather pick my own animal out
