    Caroline, the Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman, Progress Thread

    Progress thread for the dwarf caiman I just got yesterday. I made a build thread of her enclosure: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...special-guest)

    She's just a little smaller than I anticipated, so that enclosure will work for awhile, but I plan to build a display enclosure in the near-ish future (and many more after that, as she keeps growing).

    Baby crocodilians make the cutest laser beam noises, which she was doing when I unboxed her. So my feeding signal is going to be "pew pew."

    Put two medium dubia roaches in there last night and when I got back tonight, one was missing. Though it's possible it was brushed up under the rocks. So I put a shrimp and a roach to leave tonight in a place that will show more certainly that it was eaten.

    Also, I got the filter from amazon yesterday, so I installed that. No suction cups because I've read a story that it's possible they could eat them, if there's no substrate available. As sometimes they eat stones to help with buoyancy and grinding of food.

    She did not eat the roach, as I found it by the filter this morning. But she ate the shrimp for sure! I saw some little shredded bits leftover. Eating already. What a relief.

    I have a bunch of pinkies that the turtle wont touch, so I'll try those too. Wishing I didnt give away the calcium powder I had.

    I'm ecstatic! She's doing so well already. She ate both pinkies I left (on the land section, so there's no doubt). Plus, she's already stopped hiding when I enter the room.
