The ]v[onster has begun!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I didn't read all 89 pages because as a kid born in this century(roughly) I have neither the attention span or the will to do do so. Plus like 75 of the threads were filled with death threats for not finishing the enclosure timely according to everyone else lol.

SO congrats on the little girl! I love how prehistoric caiman's look. Nothing left to do but sit back and enjoy the food bill because im sure when that thing really starts eating, it's going to be a b%#&ch keeping it fed.
 
Crocodiles and whatnot can live around a century right? well i sure do hope so cause this is how long this build is taking XD

My experience, however limited with this species has been that they truely prefer to eat at night, alone. I might also suggest a shallow pan of water it can sit in as well. I've heard multiple field accounts of Paleosuchus sitting in shallow pools of water in the middle of the forrest, rather that finding them in larger bodies of water.
 
thanks for your help! check out the thread :D
The front pond is three staged. shallow, deeper and deepest.

I noticced she is rediculously active at night, constantly walking around. But i found it wierd that she ate only at night and in the pond. just wierd. she usually gets out of the ponds at night but didnt obviously.

Ill try to get a video up. She wont eat on camera obviously but im sure some people here want to see one.
