Before you start a caiman turtle, you should take care of a large aquarium, as the peculiarity of this reptile is that it is constantly growing.

It is also necessary to build an island of stones for the turtle, so that the reptile can occasionally get out on land, soak up under a table lamp, which must be installed above the island.
