They can be nippy as babies, but pretty much all species crocodilians are. Ive seen dwarf caiman owners be the most successful in keeping a tame crocodilian, mostly because of their smaller size.
Short of dwarf crocs, dwarf caiman are the worst options. They do not calm. Gators on the other hand will.
