Spix & Brochu 🐊

Species: Granulated Tart Caiman

Having a much tamer disposition than others in the Crocodilian family,  the Granulated Tart Caiman is actually well known for being a good pet  for skilled handlers. They used to have a much duller scale color before  Landwalkers began selectively breeding them to have a brighter, and  more varied hue, which impacted the wild population when some  captive-bred specimens were released by mistake.
