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.

They are relatively calm, but they have their moments.....

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.
