Tame , no unfortunately, they get used to who feeds them , thats about it , lol, but wouldnt hesitate in biting anyone even if it is the hand that feeds them ....

Fully grown , probably around 5 - 6 ft ...

Cuviers really dont like being handled, mine wont feed for months after handling, specticled caimans will tolerate handling and chill out a lot more than cuviers.

In the wild cuviers reach about 5ft-5 1/2ft but it is beleived that those kept in captivity are smaller at around 4ft - 4 1/2ft
