First of all, good to see ya again.
So happy! So happy! Some days ago i bought 2 baby Water Dragons.
Here in Greece is sooo rare to get these lizards! and i am verey very happy!
Water Dragon was my 2nd reptile (back in 1998).
It was an adult female, so tame i couldn't believe my eyes!
Unfortunately i lost her one year later from regurg.
I went for a trip and the electricity were cutoff.
The weaned mouse didn't digested properly and the poor lizard died.
Now, 7 years later i finaly found my beloved lizard of all times.
Great news is that, the one of them is already tame since it lets me pet its head.
Second great news is that, they rarely rub their nose on the sides of the glass-made terrarium.
I will come up with photos tomorrow (i hope so).

Here is the one. It is the bigger.
Today i've noticed that this bigger guy is chasing the other smaller one. This means that they are both males?
I would never expect this behaviour from baby lizards :eek:

First off, good to see you again, Greg!

Secondly, what a cute little water dragon. :D I absolutely adore these creatures, and I'm looking forward to getting MANY of them in the future, as soon as I have the right knowledge and setups going.

They are soooo much different than Iguanas. To me Iguanas are dum (sory Iguana lovers) compared to these magnifficent creatures of the Asian rainforests.
Their behaviour is something amazing! You will find yourself observing them for many hours!!!
From where i could start?
From the waving of the front legs?
The movement of the eyes?
The erect posture of the front part of the body?
Their character?
When you think you are ready, you MUST have at least a pair of them.
This Is a wish! :D
