What kind of turtle is that in there?

 

[Ophiuchus]

Nice set-up, but I agree it's probably not going to last too long. What kind of caimen is it?

Couldnt agree more, even the 3'-4' caimen's are all but impossible to maintane in a "home" setting.

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

That won't last.

Nice lookin' set-up. Best of luck in the future lol!! I know from experience how difficult it is to house (or get rid of!!) a 5' caimen.

Yeah i know. Im not gonna throw him in the outside pond yet cause hes gonna get chummed by some turtles. That would be bad....Maybe when hes gets another foot long i'll put him out. Its a spectacled caiman. I got it a couple months ago. This guy turned it in when he found out how big they got. He said the store he got it from said it wouldnt outgrow his tank and it would only get about 2ft!!!! Im so sick of hearing that line! I do agree though, that not everyone should get a caiman without first understanding the animals needs and potential size.
