Honestly they are not to hard to work with as long as they are feeding. Darwin is an amazing lizard (my second caiman lizard I lost Bacardi my first to a brain infection). A word to the wise, if you just want a display animals and something you can interact with (mine free roams when I am home and sits on the couch on sunday night football) then buy a sub adult. Let someone else take the time to get them to eat different foods, get them eating well and thriving. Its heart brake sometimes with the young guys as they will not eat or only eat a few things. I got lucky with Darwin and Bacardi as they seem to eat everything. Even this morning my baby tegu wouldn't finish the ground turkey so Darwin cleaned the bowl. Once they are about the 2 foot mark you can see what kind of caiman lizard they are, those who have them at this side will tell you they are eating machines or they are picky. There is a very good chance that they may die on ya (something to think about with $600 going into a lizard). Its getting close to the baby season for theses guys.
