Survived I did, but only because that caiman got some sort of disease and rotted away. If it had grown to about 5 feet long I probably wouldn't have survived.
A neighbor's son had several caiman which took over the basement---she couldn't use her washer and dryer there because the creatures were down there. They were big as a mid-sized gator. The kid grew up to be a renowned herpetologist. Glad my kids got discouraged and didn't branch out further with their collection. :D
That "dinner" thing for the snakes gets tough. Lost a feeder mouse in my car, had stopped for snake food and the pet store had them in a Chinese takeout carton. The dratted thing ate through the carton and ran all over the car. Never did find it----alive. :eek:
