>>> In 1982, I bought two foot long caimen. They grew an inch a month and I had them for three years. Went from a 55 gal tank to a 100. When I got custody of my two young boys, I donated them to a licensed reptile raising guy.

They never, ever were friendly. Very protective of each other. I would let them loose in the house to roam around when no body but me there. Having to put them back in the tank was tough. The tail swinging was just about as bad as their teeth. Got a couple scars. Anything I put in the tank would get eaten as long as it was moving.<<<

^^^ That's interesting. They do say even the small ones (2-3 footers) can be very dangerous. Although at least they're not going to pull you underwater in a death roll.
