I don't know what kind it is, but it sure looks skinny to me.

my friend purchased it for about 60$ from a guy who was walking around selling off his reptile stock. im not so sure about how fat it should be at this age. i searched online and i think it might be a spectacled caiman. if anyone can verify that it would be great. thanks so much for your reply. i will tell him that you felt that it was quite skinny.

As juveniles, it can be difficult to differentiate between the spectacled caiman and the brown caiman. I have seen both offered for sale as spectacleds & I'm not sure if the brown is currently identified as C. fuscus or C.c. fuscus (whether it is currently considered a separate species or a subspecies of Caiman crocidilus). Either way, the adult size and the husbandry requirements are pretty similar. Either way, both are prohibited in both the City and State of NY without proper permits. NOT preaching or threatening...just informing/reminding.
