New England Reptile has been breeding Dwarf Caiman for around 7 years. We raised our own breeding stock and work with socialization on our dwarf caiman in a similar fashion to our water monitors. A wonderful crocodilian species that is manageable in size for the advanced keeper. Dwarf caiman are small crocodilian so in a lot of states they do require permits, so if you are interested in adding one of these phenomenal little dinosaurs to your household or facility please check your state and federal regulations before purchasing, and if you require permit please apply and have your permits approved and ready before purchase! Males typically reach 4.5ft give or take while females typically reach up to 4ft. They’re the smallest of the crocodilians but what they lack in size they make up in body armor. With their smaller size it makes dwarf caiman an incredibly appealing crocodilian to work with and makes them more manageable than other crocodilians that are available on the market. With years of captive breeding behind us, the demand for our babies is high and they go quick. Dwarf caiman are definitely an animal that requires experience, proper permits, and research before you jump into them!
Dwarf Caiman
For Pet Owners, we do not suggest getting a dwarf caiman as a pet. While they are a small crocodilian and manageable in size they’re geared more toward experienced keeps and they do require permitting which is a lengthy and difficult process.
