In the caiman den
I picked her up today and realized how big she has gotten so I had to get some new pics. Unfortunately she wasn't having it. I had to remove her from pond by her tail. Couldn't get a hand behind her. Got me twice as I tried. 11 bleeding holes, a bunch of small ones that didn't quite bleed. I had to use the stick to keep her under control as she started to try and go after my wife. As soon as she stepped in the den she turned her head. She also succeeded in trapping me. Wouldn't move at all. If you look closely at my hand when Im holding her tail you can see me bleeding. LOL!! Oops. Yall better enjoy them!!

Id per her at least 2ft likly 25" to 26" range, but no way in hell I can get a real measurement. She adding plenty of girth and "maturity"(if that.makes sense) but not a ton of length. Still, im happy with her growth.


Her bites have plenty of force. My right hand is def bruised.

I meant fully grown, but she's looking good, I really like the progress of the enclosure over the past months, tr anything else in there besides the anoles?

I havnt yet. Hope to when she gets a bit larger, so she wont want to hunt them. Max, my guess is 4.5ft but could get to 5ft
 
She's gunna be a real sweety at 5 foot. My favorite part about your threads is you made the enclosure before the animal was purchased, wish more were like that... That being said the poor little girl looks so lonely in an enclosure large enough for her full grown! I'm no expert on Caimen, but what would be the chances of her having a mate...

Looks good, man!

She must've been giving you some warning nips rather than having a taste test.

This is actually feeling quite bruised.
