How do you find Osteolaemus to work with? Are they fairly calm? Just curious as I have worked with caimans and Alligators before and had heard that dwarf crocs weren't too aggresive. |

Well let's say that you can buy a nice car for the same price.
I clean it by pumping the water out,and using a broom to brush and clean the water area.
It take's about two/three hours to clean it,not that mutch.
The animals stay in the enclosure,i always have one person extra to watch the animals when i am in the enclosure. |
