Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman, The Best Pet Crocodilian?

[@jordanwicklas3720]

Honestly I’m super thankful for this channel and people like you spreading positivity and facts about reptile husbandry. I think you make the world a better place by sharing this, so thank you.

[@aaang9629]

I live in a tropical Island avg temp 80F, and I have a big backyard. Can the Caiman live in the enclosure with sun, shade and a pond?

[@heysaucemikehere1804]

Angel Báez I don’t think 80F would be hot enough for a crocodilian

[@claxton1959]

I agree in verbatum.👍

[@BeardedApostle]

Thought id put this reply here since its at the top. I think the reason the adult reacted at @2:08 is because Clint moved his hand, lightly rubbing the soft flesh inside her hind legs, which is a well known trigger zone in other Crocodilians. That very slight movement triggered the animals fight or flight instinct, and in a crocodilian, even the "flight" reaction is just a touch on the aggressive looking side.

I had a caiman alligator when I was 18. It was the first pet i bought when i got an apartment. Back then in the state of Maryland they were legal. I think i paid $50 for him when he was a hatchling. Cute little bastard for a little while until i had to start feeding him man size meals and grew pretty fast. He always hissed at everyone but was pretty lovable to me and my girlfriend (now wife). That boy would sleep on the couch with me. Was almost like having a dog😂.

Thank you for putting this information up. We had a reptile shop near me when I was a teen. I had a collection of reptiles that I adored. There was no vet around that would see any of my scaled kids so I was on my own for their care. Even library books were inadequate for many non-mammals. Still, I loved them & gave them the best care I knew of. Folks were amazed how social my pets were. I handled them as much as possible & still have the bite scars from some of the grouches. Had the internet been available then, with all this information, it would have made life so much easier for me & my scaled kids.

You are in my top three favorite channels and I shall continue to enjoy you as long as you have a program. You've gotten me interested in reptiles. The tarantula people have me interested in tarantulas. You've talked me into getting a pair of jumping spiders because I fell in love with Lucas. I've just had such an awareness of other things since being locked into quarantine like we are. I want to own a reptile. I want a Tagu lizard. I want one like Gus Gus. I've been watching Tyler Nolan and I want an iguana like the pair that he has. I can't remember their name but they're huge. Rhinoceros iguana I think? whatever they are there black and they're huge and he's named them Khaleesi and Drogo from Game of Thrones. The female is so affectionate just like Gus Gus. The mail not so much but they really do love Tyler. He has an amazing collection of animals like you do. Okay well that's it for my comments.

I went to Florida recently and got to hold a 2 year old American alligator. At that moment I was absolutely filled with live and amazement for that animal like almost nothing I can remember. When I got to the hotel I started researching crocodilians and which one would be the most practical one to have as my "someday if I'm rich" animal, and I landed on this very creature due to its size and behavior. I've since decided I'll go for more reasonable animals, with a BCI boa as my someday but totally attainable dream pet. But these things are wonderful animals, just not the right pet for me. Clint and team, you all have done wonderful work and helped me hone my childish joy and excitement about a very unreasonable dream animal (a crocodilian) into a real action plan that will hopefully allow me and my kids to enjoy great pet reptiles for decades to come.

I just discovered you yesterday and I love this, the way you were talking at the end was exactly what I would be doing if i got to spend a day with crocodilians

[@jackbraddick6489]

He just wanted to say "well hi there" too

[@ClintsReptiles]

She had a lot to say.

The title worried me for a second there XD glad you clarified they definitely do not make good pets! When talking about whether it is the coolest animals you mentioned how dinosaurs looked less cool - have you ever looked into pseudosuchia? It's the sister group to dinosaurs, and as the last living dinosaurs are called 'birds' the last living pseudosuchians are called 'crocodiles' - pseudosuchia is a huge group of fantastic looking animals all related to living crocodiles, some of my favourites are: -Arizonasaurus (a sail-backed crocodile) -Poposaurus (bipedal crocodile) -Desmatosuchus (an aetosaur - a very heavily armoured crocodile) -Kaprosuchus (a crocodile with more horns) -Dakosaurus (a sea monster crocodile) -Postosuchus (was believed to be a heavily built land croc, now considered to be bipedal) -Araripesuchus (one of the land crocs, has a lot of good artwork)

First of all, I love your clear and obvious passion for animals! It's amazing!! Did Kevin mention to you if the adult caiman with the deformed mandibles was a rescue? That sort of deformity typically results from poor diet, namely lack of calcium from never feeding whole prey items, and I know NERD takes better care of their animals than that.

I really appreciate the guy who runs/owns nerd, he's doing a great job and is well spoken without seeming unapproachable. 👌

These are hands down one of my favourite reptiles, awesome video!

[@ClintsReptiles]

I can safely put them in my top five.

That breathing noise is very comforting. Like a cat purring.

0:14 "But this is pasta boy, my favorite animal in the whole world."

[@HDitzzDH]

2:08 Not gonna lie I jumped out of my chair with my heart fucking pounding lmao. The fact that I was just staring at it in complete silence didn't help very much...

[@ccarlijn98]

Hahaha. Did not expect the growl... There's coffee all over my couch now 😶

[@ClintsReptiles]

Good morning!

[@blueblaze332]

I lost it when the baby sneezed

[@khananiel-joshuashimunov4561]

They're so adorable! Almost as adorable as Snake Discovery's Rex!

[@Brohan97]

I love rex shes awesome

[@MotherOfWednesday]

06:21 vibrating with tiny rage

[@vegakvd]

Great video. I have always wanted one of these guys, probably more then any other reptile.....however...I also recognize it’s not the right pet for me. So I like to admire them from afar and enjoy videos like these!

[@ClintsReptiles]

Your and me both.

[@acolize8883]

How are you so funny yet so sincere? This is the third video I watched and I’m hooked

[@lucyicanel]

I love how this series has evolved from "Do you want a reptile? I'll show you some options and help you decide which reptile is right for you!" to "Let's see how bad of a pet this reptile makes!"

[@bubbacharlietripp]

I love how every animal is 'possibly my favorite animal'. Ditto.

[@among-us-99999]

Crocodilians are stinkin' rad, but I think I’m more a lizard person

[@ClintsReptiles]

That's probably a good thing.

[@AverageEvangelionFan]

I first found out about them when they were added to the game Planet Zoo, and I wanted one as a pet, but unfortunately I live in Australia where the are highly illegal and for very good reason, that and as he mentions, when here a baby they seem like a reasonably sized pet, but when they’re an adult, I would have nowhere to keep it Edit: Come to think of it, they shouldn’t be legal anywhere without proper licensing
