I’ve had my caiman for 3 weeks now. The day he arrived he Defecated shortly after I put him in his tank, that was 20 days ago. He hasnt defecated since then. He’s been eating fine, crickets and fish. I thought maybe I was over-feeding so I didnt feed him for 4 days and he still didnt go but he started attacking the fake plants in the tank so I started feeding him again. He’s pretty fat right now. I keep a few live fish in the tank so he can eat whenever he gets hungry but they usually dont make it more then 2 night’s. He’s always looking for something to eat.

He’s very healthy(or atleast seems it to me). Water temperature is always 82-84F and air is 82F during day and 75F at night. Am I just worrying or could there be a problem?

If there is a problem what could I do about it?

Thanks
