    I recently saw something on Instagram that suggested the Butterfly Conservatory has caiman.
    I remember hearing a story about Little Rays and Brantford Train Valley partnering to find homes for a group of caiman and they are otherwise available.
    Can anyone confirm if they do an any other species they might have?

    I saw your query earlier and wondered why you didn't just ask them.

    Then I Emailed Niagara Parks at 2:01 and received this reply at 2.23:

    Occasionally, Little Rays Reptile Zoo and Nature Centre sets up temporary exhibits at the Butterfly Conservatory, they did have a Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman as part of a past exhibit called the Swamp Creatures exhibit . Currently, Little Rays Survival of the Slowest exhibit is on at the Butterfly Conservatory, It runs until May 31st. There are no Caimans included in this exhibit, however, the following animals are a part of the current exhibit:

    • Two-Toed Sloth
    • Veiled Chameleon
    • Red Footed Tortoise
    • Spur Thigh Tortoise
    • Blood Python
    • Pixie Frog
    • Green Iguana
    • Pancake Tortoise

    For some reason that didn't occur to me, thank you.
