These two Australian Water Dragons were surrendered to our rescue, The McDonald Family Animal Rescue (
http://www.themcdonaldrescue.co.nr ), a little over six months ago by a pet store that had been over crowding and neglecting them.
Upon arrival, both were emaciated. The male had bite wounds on his legs, and the female had a large chunk out of her tail, and the wounds were infected. After being treated for parasites, they began to gain weight quickly and have voracious appetites. The infections were treated and the wounds have scarred and are barely noticeable, and get smaller every day. They are now in perfect health!
They are eating Superworms, Crickets, Pinkies, and begrudgingly will munch on salad occaisionally. They LOVE discoids and butterworms, and are starting to enjoy guppies. They are bonded and must be adopted together, however we would prefer they NOT be bred.
They are not very tame but they are not afraid of humans. They eat from your hand and will come out of their cage and onto your lap for a worm. If captured, they calm down in your hand quickly. Due to the fact that they aren't that fearful, and willing to approach humans, I beleive that with patience they can become handleable.
Here is a video of them eating:
