Caiman Lizard - Lesion Thread [Bubba]
(1) I think we should have a Caiman Lizard SubForum :P
(2) Since there is so little information out there for Caiman Lizard I figured I'd share any and all experiences I happen to have with mine. So this is a tracking thread on a lesion we've been treating for about a month.
