(Click the appropriate link for Rescues or Donations)

If you take a look and see something on this site that you are that interested in, please feel free to make us an offer. The worst that could happen is that we could laugh at you and say, "No!"

As the saying goes, "If the price is right, anything is for sale".

NOTES - We are in the process of building a new housing area for our spectacled caiman on a piece of land out in Williamson County.  We can again accept "nuisance" caiman and we can come and collect them from your home, tank or enclosure, but we're not completely set up for our educational classes just yet.  Once we are done with our building we will make classes and educational tours available again.  Please excuse our mess as we attempt to make better conditions for our animals.

Due to past experiences and circumstances that we have no control over, we will no longer be able to ship live animals.  If you are interested in the rescue or purchase of any animal or item on these pages you will need to come to Texas.  We may be able to meet you somewhere other than the Austin area, but be prepared to come pretty close to Central Texas to pick him, her or it up.

Disclaimer - It is your responsibility to find out the laws concerning owning spectacled caiman in your area. All of our caiman are spectacled caiman (caiman crocodilus).  We will not be responsible for any violations that you may make.  We will not be responsible for the legality or illegality of your ownership of any animals.   Additionally, we will not be responsible for health, injury or death during transport or once they leave our facility. We will not be responsible for your health and safety once you take possession of any of our animals.

Hatchlings

It's been our experience that the usual mating season is around May or June.  Therefore, eggs are usually laid between August and September.  Finally, the hatchlings are usually born between late October and mid-December.  The best time to check with us to get on the list for hatchlings is late October.  It's at that time we usually know what kind of clutches we're looking at and can reasonably assure you of a new born, when the time comes.

And we will always keep this page updated.  So check back here often, and especially toward the middle to end of October.

At this time we have no hatchlings.  We may not have any this season, at all.  It may be because of the move and the stress we put on the animals during that time, but they have not built any nests or laid any eggs so far this season. We will update this page if things change.

Our Reasoning for Breeding

For a very limited time each year, Caiman Hunter will allow a couple of our spectacled caiman to breed.  This is done to make hatchlings available for sale, to help offset the ever growing costs of healing, raising and keeping the animals that we've rescued.  This is a very limited opportunity.      

The pick-up in Texas price is $250.00 each. After the problems we had with one of our receivers, we will no longer ship live animals.  We may travel a little, but be prepared to come to Central Texas.

Adult Caiman

We would consider re-homing an adult caiman.  These would be rescued, adults which we feel have regained their health, and range in size from 48" to 60".  We don't take requests.  If you want one, it will be whichever one we catch first.  You could ask, but we won't guarantee which sex or size we're going to catch.  We will guarantee its health only until it leaves our hands.  If you are interested contact us.

To expedite the process, please read our Liability Waiver and our Care Sheets section before contacting us.
