Males normally get around 3 feet, females being a tad smaller.

Yours looks about 1/2 grown. We have found that it of great importance to go to the vet and get them checked for paracites. We lost our first one that way and out secound is doing great after being wormed. See Avatar.

I agree, its always a good idea to get wc or even new animals at that checked.

leash??? that is too funny, becareful they will run and run fast. but buy books to find out what you are getting into, i recommend the avg books all about waterdragons, i picked it up a couple years ago when i got into water dragons...

lol.. i know it sounds kinda weird. but i thought it might be a good idea because i dont want her to be hanging on to me then suddenly jumping off and me not being able to catch her. the leash will atleast keep her safe in that respect.

thanks for the recommendation. i'll definitely check it out.
