This thing caiman & a gun went out

AT LEAST he didn’t flush it down the toilet.

A Brooklyn man was held on $10,000 cash bail on Thursday for throwing a gun out a window during a drug raid — and housing a mini-crocodile.

Cops recovered a sharp-toothed caiman (above) — a small cousin of the crocodile – inside a tank in the living room of Habakkuk Tracey’s E. 21st St. apartment among a host of drugs and a gun, officials said.

Cops targeted the Flatbush apartment following a number of undercover narcotics buys there, officials said.

Neighbors said the police broke down the main entrance of the building during the early-morning bust and made their way inside Tracey’s apartment.

Police found the caiman along with a loaded .380-caliber handgun and approximately 15 grams of crack cocaine, according to the criminal complaint.

“I’m shocked about a darned crocodile. A crocodile?” said Esther Banks, 76, one of Tracey’s longtime neighbors.

Caimans can grow to about 6 feet in length, but the one discovered Wednesday appeared to be only about a foot long.

Tracey, 42, was charged with drug and weapons possession — and for violating the health code by keeping a wild animal in his home, authorities said.

Cops handed over the caiman to Animal Care Centers.
