cheers,was fun to build,homebuilt tank n much flexi sheet rockwork.

new hatchling turtle tank.

its proberbly in turtle heaven if its gone from a fishtank to ya pond.its proberbly pigging out on ya plants more than the fish. :fshi:

are they a young pair or group?what size enclosure? what time of year?

normaly waterdragon bob n wave is submission. head shake n bob is agression. waterdragons and beardies will bob n wave to each other as well.

he also claimed locusts were very difficult to breed and required a special feed.

bug bong! :slfg:

aaand swap the heat lamp out for a standard light bulb, say 60 watt, and do the same trick with another branch but give it 4 inches from the bulb minimum. heat lamps a waste of time for waterdragons as they dont supply high lumens or light intensity.bright light will stimulate activity. and no point heating the enclosure at night at this time of year,or any time of year. assuming your going to build an outside enclosure next spring?personaly id put it in an outside enclosure now as a hatchling till at least late march. n then either leave it out for winter to hibernate or move it back inside.not so good for taming but best situation for waterdragon health.GROW IT SLOW FOR THE FIRST YEAR. IT WILL ALMOST DOUBLE ITS LIFE SPAN,AND TRIPPLE ITS FERTILITY. get a fly trap goin as flys give them heaps of exersize and sharpens there aim,stay away from mealworms for at least the first 6 months.small locusts or wild grasshoppers good for handfeeding to tame up.put a smallamount of finely choped carrot,butch white lable dog roll and dandylion leaf n flowers in equal parts in the enclosure,the flies will land on it n the dragon will lunge at them and eventualy make the conection n then you got a base food with live bugs for fill in. make sure you change the mix every day to minumise disease risk. earthworms good food,those jet plane looking lacewing hoppy things reeeeeal good.n any other bug thats not toxic or flysprayd .iv seen hatchlings smash wasps but always makes me nervous n would'nt recomend them till w dragon at least 10 inches long

if your not 100% use a tube(any u.v rating) and angle a branch from 3 inches below tube ,to the bottom of the enclosure. the waterdragon will find its own happyplace on the branch.

i accidently tripped over its details.021411007... is that wrong? not mister bond then? :slfg:

cheers.its what happens when the sickness is given free reign lol

if your refering to me,im not interested in selling ,breeding or displaying.And if its in general,do you realy think there interested in enforcing it unless somone is reported and then the have to? apparently they are far to busy.

must of been 5 or 7 years ago ish.

its all a bunch of bollocks .how do you stop them breeding when most people cant sex them? if they do breed do you kill the babies? just pushes them undeground in auckland,wich is all they care about anyway. out of sight out of mind.

sory to hear bout ya mum... but guilt trip aside, you answered my question. p.s i have no intention to appear smarter :sml1:

go the technology, best i can do with ma computer skills is type karl kwidor on u tube should b 2 videos there.:dunno: thats me old enclosure,almost dismantled now.

no just anti- idiot! :facepalm: have you ever flown into nz and filled out the forms? or did you get ya mum ta do it for you?

is it res. has it got a red stripe behind its eye?

its very clearly spelt out when you turn up at the airport AYE!

its very clearly spelt out when you turn up at the airport AYE!

yea do the standard immigrant 2 step! bugger all reptiles available here for you! :facepalm: you kinda burnt ya bridges allready with first couple of comments :dunno:

waterdragons good for fish,turtles,birds n lizards but need a very large OUTSIDE ENCLOSURE. :thup:

they love it. add deeper water,at least 100mm if hatchling,much filteration as they deficate in the water.make sure the many branches are thick enough to sleep on ,and do mesh top for ventilation.dont heat the water so they can thermoregulate temp. make sure at least 4 foot aquarium if hatchling. always good to do a land area and if with gravel you can set up bio filter with under gravel filter n power head.fire the water over the land area for better anerobic bio filter. :thup:

funny,no mention of the 4th species,whites tree frog :dunno:

male must b 600 ish . coastal beardie that is
