Hey guys i duno about this CWD i got.. i just have a feeling the tank its in doesnt meet the requirements it needs.. since ive got it all its been doing is trying to get through the glass doors at the front and i just feel that its too small for it to give in.. plus theres no water apart from a tuppawear container in the corner :( If anyone has had or knows experience with CWD is greatly appreciate it.. Im thinking of selling it or swapping it for a beardeed dragon with a pet shop, i know some pet shops do lil things like that
Heres a pic.. i just feel like its cruel to keep it in there if its not happy.. any advice is GREATLY appreciated

Quoted froma care sheet..
You will need a large enclosure, one larger than most people think will be needed by a lizard of this size. The reason most are missing much of their faces, rubbed off from the snout back past the front teeth, is that water dragons will literally rub their flesh off and break their jaw bones trying to get out of a too small enclosure. They need space at least 2 x their total length - so you are talking min 6 ft long (side to side), at least 2-3 feet deep and 4-6 feet high to do it right. |

| Fair enough, personaly I think thats the right decision. See if your local rep shop will give you an exchange for kit or a beardie. |

An old mate of mine used 2 old fridgefreezers bolted together as a temporary viv ages ago when he got some lizards that needed loads of space. Can't remember now exactly what they were, it was some years ago.
Apparently he kept that 'viv' for nearly 2 years, as it was nearly (external sizes) 6ft longx4ft tallx2ftdeep.
He basically just got 2 of them from the local recycling centre (dump  ) and gutted the insides and removed the compressors, then laid one on it's side with the other on top and knocked them through.
Obviously there was a bit more to it as well, like sterilizing,cleaning and doors etc, but it did look good.
Cost less than a big viv too. |
