New Malachite Pics.

Her forever home hit a bit of a financial wall so we had to opt for a cheaper but larger fish tank for now. Its quite a bit larger than her last enclosure and I'm still slowly working on her monster home-made one. We snapped some pics after we transferred her. She's doing great and is a great eater. LOVES thawed mouse pinks, crickets and sometimes some reptisticks in squashed.....squash. Can't get her to touch worms though. The camera phone whitewashes her colors . She is a much more vibrant green.

Amazing looking animal.

Very nice water dragon! But are you sure "she" is not a "he"?

Vet and the deli cup indicated a "she" but those nice spikes say "he", from what I have read. We got in the habit of saying she though.

Looks like she has some nose rub you should eliminate the transparency on the glass

Yeah I was thinking cork bark panels inside her enclosure but paper must have to do for now. She has some mouth damage from fighting syringe feedings when we first got her. She was horribly infested with parasites and it took a month of oral antibiotics and injections to keep her alive. I'm picking up a roll of paper tonight for the sides and bottom lip of the cage. I shouldn't have to cover the doors any should I ?
