    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey Everyone,
I purchased my first water dragon this weekend, and I have a few questions.
So heres some info about him/her. The dragon is still a baby and I would guess about 9" maybe more but most of that is his tail. I have him in a 30 gallon tank wil coconut husk on the cage floor, moss and a few fake plants. Branches are stacked up under his basking light so he can climb and a large water bowl on the other side of the cage. I wanted to know what is the ideal basking temp for these dragons? Also does my setup sound ok? I want him to be healthy and happy and so far he is eating great and is moving around the cage exploring going in his water. Any information would be greatly appericiated
Thanks :D
 
Your set up sounds good.
Basking temps for Water Dragons need to be high - upper 90's.

Good luck with your little one! They are awesome lizards! :D
Do you have any pics?
 
He can eat small dubias, silkworms, butterworms, phoenix worms, red wiggler worms, *waxworms & mealworms (*in moderation), other small roaches like lateralis & lobster, and dark leafy greens.
