The caiman "pit" is 6x4x4 and currently has the turtles and fish that lived with the caiman lol. It's gonna have to go in something a bit smaller for now 
heres a cool link I found on them that might interest you http://www.skullsunlimited.com/record_species.php?id=3387
found on the nashville zoo site that they feed rat pinkies, smelt, snails and crayfish
which are all surprisingly easy to get, especially for me

You can try PMing him and see if he has any advice.
From everything I have read, their main diet is apple snails...

wish u were closer. id take some of ur caiman friendly turtles off ur hands.....since u dont need them
Their main wild diet perhaps, although they eat other invertes like crayfish and mussels. Just like Blue Tongue Skinks natural diet is also snails, same with White throat monitors. Captive animals are often fed different things.
Good to know, thanks for the info! Just got him home, about 18" long. I'll put up pics tomorrow.
Well, it's been three days and no dice with getting him to eat. Left some crushed apple snails in the cage, hopefully that'll do the trick.
