Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
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.

Received a dead Dwarf Caiman today :(
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??
Mike

Let us know if this guy makes it right. If he doesn't, you need to post this on the BOI. Sending the animal via USPS Priority Mail (2-3 days) is unacceptable, irresponsible, and illegal.

You really should consider posting this on the BOI with complete info on the seller .
I would think it slim that he will be getting back to you anytime soon.
Its unfortunate what you and especially the animal went through.
It needs to be brought to the publics attention.

as far as your husbandry question, yes you can keep torts with dwarf caiman. however, sulcutas tend to be a 'drier' tortise than what a caiman environment provides. i know the St Augustine alligator farm keeps redfoot and yellowfoot torts with their paleosuchus. i keep an eastern box in with mine- both ignore each other for the most part. hope your situation gets resolved and you get a caiman.
