 According to this is a dwarf caimen iggegal for me to own?

I live in illinois and here are the regulations:
As used in this Act, unless the context otherwise requires:

"Dangerous animal" means a lion, tiger, leopard, ocelot, jaguar, cheetah, margay, mountain lion, lynx, bobcat, jaguarundi, bear, hyena, wolf or coyote, or any poisonous or life-threatening reptile.

"Owner" means any person who (a) has a right of property in a dangerous animal, (b) keeps or harbors a dangerous animal, (c) has a dangerous animal in his care, or (d) acts as custodian of a dangerous animal.

"Person" means any individual, firm, association, partnership, corporation, or other legal entity, any public or private institution, the State of Illinois, or any municipal corporation or political subdivision of the State.

It says no life threatening animals and i dont consider a dwarf caimen life threatening or at least not much more than my monitors.

If I get one it wont be for a few years. By the way whats a good beginner species of caiman that stays on the smaller end of caiman sizes? I have a kid pool thats 8x4x2. would that work as part of the cage. I dont worry about water getting anywhere because it would be in the basement and theirs a drain in my reptile room and no carpet to mess up.
