I am interested in seeing what you guys might think of some of my ideas for an older caiman lizard. I'm getting a '10 hatchling so i got some time before i need the adult cage, and right now i have his quretine cage set up.
For an adult i was looking at the large wetland turtle tubs and making a plexi glass or screen walls around it with a door near the ramp. Using PVC pipe to make a bar across the top to hang the lights off. This would allow for a nice deepish pool and still have a good size land section. Of corse there would be branchs overhanging the whole water area for basking and lookouts.
The next idea would be making an indoor built in pond, much like i have seen with crocs. Problem with this is i could not move it ever.
Also while i got your attention i was wondering if any of you got pictures of what yours look like now? Anyone have some from the '09 group?
Again im just planning cause i know with my tegus these grow fast and if you don't plan ahead you end up with a 3 foot lizard in a 3 foot cage and there is no way i would let that happen.
