what do you all think?!

I say go for it. I know that you know your herps and I think you'll be fine. You're not one of those loony's I see at reptile shows buying baby alligators for the "Wow, kewl!" factor.
 
Do you have a deep freeze? You'll need plenty of room for all those frozen rats you'll be getting.

Awesome pickup, by the way.
 
I think he's good on that end Noto, he breeds various morphs of Ball Pythons.
 
Like the others have said, as long as you know what you're getting into, you should definetely get the Caiman. Right now you'll be feeding him mice, 5 years from now you'll be feeding him rabbits. ;)
 
Actually these guys are primarily fish eaters in the wild. They also stay under 5 feet so a rabbit might be a bit big for them. Large rats would probably work better along with lots of fresh fish fillets.
 
wow, kewl :D

man, your neighbors arnt gunna be sneaking into your pool anytim soon. out of curiosity, what were you considering trading?

I have about 1,000 rats of various sizes in my freezer atm and keep a steady supply of atleast 200 always on hand. As well as freezers stock full of fish. So im not worried about food.
