 Taping mouths shut

I am looking for websites or suggestions on best way to tape their mouth shut. I have a spectacled caiman and he is now around 2.5 feet. He is getting stronger and obviously more dangerous. I do educational talks at my college once in awhile and usually take him but if i still take him I want to take his mouth shut. Seems harder to me cause he is still smaller. So looking for suggestions?

Don’t use Tape ...tape will rip skin and scales...use rope...or velcro fasteners. Custom made muzzles are quite easy to have tailored with web strapping...purchased at fabric stores ...also in the climbing world you can get any type of hi strength rope and locking devices for the rope you desire. That way you won’t hurt the reptile.
