new water dragons!

I heat the water to raise the ambient temperature for green and gold bell frogs and it works well. I also don't know the minimum temperature requirements for water dragons but heating the water certainly keeps the frogs happy.

wd's still operate at a lower temp than bd's and bt's

had our first frost yesterday (micro climate), wd's still active in outside pen

i ran babies in heated pen for 6 weeks then into indoor pen just heated water

if they are active and eating it means they are warm enough

if they stop eating and try to dig into substrate then they are too cold

young wd's may try hiding if there is a lot of movement around enclosure as it is part of their instinct to keep predator safe

behaviour is a good indicator of what is going on with your animals
