For sale in our Bracknell reptile shop
Age: Adult, CB2020/2021 (4 -5 years old)
Sex: Female
This individual has a slight nose rub that is healing well, and is missing some of their tail
Handling: Tolerate handling, but do well as a display species too
Suitability: Well-researched beginners who can provide the appropriate enclosure
Natural Habitat: Dense tropical forests near to freshwater streams
Chinese water dragons do best in large, tall Paludarium-style enclosures with a minimum enclosure size requirement of 4×2×4ft.
A filtered or regularly changed water area should take up a large part of the floorspace, with plenty of branches, cork, platforms, vines and plants added to provide climbing opportunities as they spend a lot of their time resting high on branches above the water.
They should be provided with UV lighting and thermostatically controlled overhead heating. They have high humidity requirements so a digital thermo-hygrometer should be in place to measure humidity and temperature within the enclosure accurately.
The correct multivitamin supplement schedule is particularly imperative for this species.
