Is it legal to buy a dwarf caimen?

Answer 1

Yes, it is. you do, however, need to do some research. i heard that you must be financially stable and know about the creature you're about to purchase. it's enclosure must be at least five times the length of the croc, so if the croc is 4 feet long, the enclosure will be AT LEAST 20 feet by 20 feet. it must have both land AND water surfaces. you must feed it regularly. after all that is done, you should go get the creature checked out at the vet for mites that can get into skin folds, especially around the eyes and ears. it may also have infections and this is another thing to check for before buying a crocodilian. you should also research local laws constraining the purchase of exotic pets. it may be a pain, but this is some, probably not all, of what you must do to obtain one. this is not an embarkment for inexperienced owners, and if you feel you cannot provide any or all of these do not purchase this animal, it's as simple as that.
