CROCLIST: African Dwarf Crocodiles

[Donny]

Cameron,
Im sorry I havent got back to you withthe info you requested, I will get on it within the next day or 2, but really there isnt much differant to care of Dwarfs than other species.

I have been keeping Dwarf croc's indoors in Michigan, this is the more pacific info that you will need as 99.9% of other keepers have there Dwarf's outdoors in FL

Also, on another note ... where are you getting Osteolaemus t. osborni from?  There are no legal osboni in the USA as far as I am aware, There is only O. t. tetraspis, and there is 1 single "odd" dwarf crocodile in the USA this odd animal is a yet un-named Dwarf Crocodile sub-species.

O. t. osboni, have typical type crocodile snouts (not up turned), these animals look VERY similar to Smoothfront Caiman.

If the Dwarf's you are getting are in fact osborni, I would keep that quiet.

Best Regards,
Donny

  I am getting a pair of african dwarf crocodiles "o.t.o" and was wondering if anyone has a captive care info for them, also what can I do as far as conservation of this species? Should I keep logs on the animals? Any info would be greatly apperciated.
