I am looking for a Chinese Alligator for sale but I have been having a very hard time finding any for sale, much less a hatchling. If anyone has any info. it would be greatly appreciated.

Cambridge Reptiles have a Chinese Alligator, although I thnk he wants to keep it for himself. I asked him how much he could get me one for and he said between £2000 - £3000.

As far as I'm aware their requirements are very similar to Dwarf Caiman, except they need a larger enclosure. Although a Dwarf Caiman costs £395+ so is considerably cheaper than a Chinese Alligator.

Chinese alligators will get bigger and bulkier then Dwarf Caimans, reaching about 6/7 foot when adult and appearing much like a short stocky American Alligator.

There's not one as far as I know.

You could try Jerry Cole http://www.natures-image.co.uk/Gallery/caimen.htm, he has Dwarf Caiman, did have eggs but not sure if they have or will hatch?
