Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Caiman lizards (dracaena guianensis). Does anybody keep them?
I have a pair of juvenile captive born caiman lizards. They are tame and just beautiful. Does anyone else keep them?
Here is a video of mine.

Hey i was wonder if you guys would recomend a caiman lizard as a pet lizard. More so just for a pet then i project as i have to desire to breed them. I currently keep teugs and have had experiance with a wide range of herps including crocs and large monitor. Its only recently that they seem to be more on the market. I do have the benifit of a buddy of mine working at a zoo that has them, but i rather get a some opinions from people who have had them in their house. Sorry to steal the tread theres just not alot of info on them still and i dont want to get one only to realize its not what i expected.

Well so far mine are easy to feed, they even eat out of my hand, they always poo in there water so easy maintenance there, mist cage for humidity. As for pets to me they would be no different than keeping tegus or blue tongues.
Here are a couple more videos I did of mine. Even one eating snails from my hand....

So i'm guessing a good question to ask before i buy is are the eatting and what are the eatting. I heard some will take rat pups and other normal feeders but some will eat just snails. Have you had a problem feeding yours anything other than snails. I'd have no problem stocking up on snails (already have a small fridge just for feeders more like a regular fridge but still) just where would you get enough snails to feed a camine lizard and how much would a young one eat. All the info my buddy is giving me is one only from one soruce and two about adults.

So far mine are eating zoo med can o snails and ground turkey like no tomorrow. I get the ground turkey roll at wal mart for $1.82 a roll. I am going to try crawfish and smelt. I have not tried pinkies yet.
Pet smart is having a sale on zoomed can o snails right now for $2 a can till the end of the month. Also you can get a big bag of snails at a chinese grocery store for $3 a bag. So it is very cheap to feed these guys.

i had a few others available, just never posted them on my youtube, but yeah that's me.
Wolfpaw, theese guys make excellent captives, if you like tegus, you'll love theese guys.
I've heard of many keepers feeding theese guys all sorts of stuff, but mine have all been picky eaters, and will only take clams, mazuri crocidilian diet, snails and salmon flavored cat food, but for the most part snails, its rather cheap to feed theese guys.
Ive been trying all sorts of different foods, that i hear they eat but no luck.

I just got my third 09 caiman lizard the other day. To my surprise it decided to evert its hemipenes and mark the territory. Honestly I would not think they would do that this young. But I was able to get it on video.
I just uploaded it. Check it out...
