    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Nice Caiman and enclosure. Alligators are freely owned and sold in my state, and people try to give me 4 footers often. I, as well as many others, still choose to only keep dwarf caiman because I cant provide a facility for anything larger.
 
thanks for the comment. i know you grow so big and is a lot of problems later. but you have a wonderful animal, which are in your nature. I'm really jealous:) I saw a stick with string to capture the crocodile's mouth, known professionally as the object, and where you can buy. I hope the translator clearly explains. I apologize for writing the error.

That is a catch pole, used mainly for dogs and cats. It is easy to make one yourself out of PVC tubing and a coord.
 
Really nice kajmana ona wygląda świetnie! jest ona dość spokojny lub ona jest szalona, ​​jak wszystkie moje są? i utrzymanie 3 dorosłych kajmany, a jeśli i przechowywane moje jak twoje id luźne strony dość szybko. Przepraszam za złe tłumaczenie i mówić i pisać po rosyjsku nie polską.
 
Hello. did not understand everything. my cayman terribly afraid to people, I do not know why, do not want to eat with me, eats just as no one, is constantly hiding, is quiet, but preferred to a feed so I was not afraid, because I can not observe their natural behaviors, such as hunting like swallows. because the hands are very calm. write in English, translator good translators from English to Polish or Russian I learned five years so I kinda remember I live near the border with Belarus have so much contact with the Russian:) may you have a photograph of their pets happy to see.
 
caimans by nature are very shy, yours seems very typical. you seem to be doing everything right with yours. I will get some pictures tonight and post them for you. i cant handle mine like yours so they will probably be in their pond. What size is your pond?
 
"my cayman terribly afraid to people, I do not know why, do not want to eat with me, eats just as no one, is constantly hiding, is quiet, "

Mr. Sadan: I have had several caiman in my life and none of them tolerated handling or being approached. I have trained my P. trigonatus to be less shy by using a dog clicker when I feed him. He learned to respond to it, and now comes out of hiding if I sound it, because he expects a food reward. His approach can be "vigorous" to say the least and precautions must be taken to avoid being bitten. This has made him less shy because he now associates my presence with a food reward, whether I sound the clicker or not, and he will come to the front of his enclosure if I am near it. I am suggesting this as a way to positively reinforce your presence to your caiman, but as i said, be careful and respect their speed and power.
 
While caiman are shy they can be trained to interact with people.
I had one that I handled daily, very tame (but I spent an immense amount of time with her).
The rest learned the feeding and cleaning routine well enough to move to the other end of the cage so I could clean without coming in contact with them. They do respond to an action at feeding time (I like the dog clicker idea - outstanding), mine would come beg for food when opening the cage door.

Keep up the good work, beautiful animal!
 
Wow I didn't know that a caiman could survive very well in Poland. Also my family is from Poland, all I can say is that I love the food. :)
