I've been so excited the last week after getting an opportunity to acquire a Caiman. I've built a canopy in the back yard and a fenced in enclosure and I dug a hole to put a small tank last night to house my new caiman. It came today, however, and it was dead on arrival. It was a gorgeous specimen otherwise. I knew it before I opened the box as you could smell the smell of a dead animal. Poor little guy probably had an awful trip as he came via USPS Priority Mail with no mention of Live animal on the box. I bet he was tossed and turned in every direction.
He was going to be the newest addition to my collection and my first crocodilian since college, about 13 years ago. Oh well, I"ve emailed the seller so hopefully it will be taken care of. I do have a husbandry question that I hope some one can address before the next one arrives. Can Sulcata tortoises and Caiman peacefully live together?? I've seen some tortoises and turtles living with crocodilians, but don't know about these particular species. If they can, I would like to house the two together. Any opinions??
