Hey everyone just got my baby Jacky dragons. 15 cm long and going strong, eating crickets, blueberry's, carrot, lettuce and mealies. Can't believe my success with their feeding. here are some pics, the pic of the frog if one of my green TF's checking them out. They dont have names yet got any...

i have 2 gippsland water dragons and need some tips on handling them as they are really skitish they freak out when i open their tank and when i do have them out all they seem to do is run. can anyone give me tips on how to calm them down enough to handle them better??

My beardy Ghedorah was looking very nice today so I snapped some shots of him in the feeding tub eating his favourite thing, Nasturtium flowers. The colour is not exact, he is more lemon and cream with lilac.

Hey I have an approximately 6-7 month old eastern water dragon. S/he's in a good sized enclosure at the moment for their size (5-6cm snout to vent, not incl tail) but at the end of this year or next year or whenever s/he grows out of it, I want to get the final or at least long-term enclosure...

hey guy just want to see some pics of your outdoor enclosures you's have made for your dragons. i am thinking of making one for my beardy and my 2 pygmys, they will be separate tho :) i already have a big one for my EWD which i am happy with and came up good so will prob make one similar, but...

I was watching a show called 'The Zoo'. They were rehousing some EWD's. They said that they can live to 60 years old. Anyone know how true this is??? I find it a bit hard to believe myself.

looking for a friend for my gippsland water dragon just out of curiosity is there any other reptile that could live with a Gippsland water dragon. this is my Gippsland water drgon Turbo

With all this talk about stolen snakes i thought id throw it out there... How have you secured your snakes from theft? Do you have locks, an alarm, moat, sentry guns or perhaps you let your most dangerous beasties roam the house Without giving it all away what do you use to prevent...

Hey I would like to see your enclosures no matter what type of reptile, just for some ideas on new set ups etc to see what they are most comfortable with :) Preferrably EWD ones, but if you have a different reptile I would like to see that too! ^_^ thank you

Hey jw, when does an eastern water dragon start shedding? Or if you dont know, any similar reptile when it starts shedding to give me a bit of an idea? I have a young EWD, still small,,around 6cm snout to vent.. Unknown age, had him/her since Feb. Im guessing he's around 6 months though.... I...

whats everyone buying? haha i myself am thinking BHP

Are young EWDs more scared being by the window + adapting to new bigger enclosure? Very random topic, but for people who have ideas or experience with young lizards/reptiles, preferrably the skittish/shy little eastern water dragons(Anything really would be great), it would be great if you...

Hi all i am looking at getting two eastern water dragons and i wondering if i have a 6 foot glass aquarium and make a frame above and across from that point out of pine and then fly screen the outside of that would that be alright for water dragons? i have a very simple paint drawing but it...

hi guys i gave a 3ftx2ftx1ft reptile enclosure and was wondering what lizard to put in there on a class 1 license. i already have a northern bearded dragon and eastern water dragon. thanks.

Hi, can anyone help? My Eastern Water Dragon seems too active to be hibernating. Despite no food for at least 3 weeks, still finding tiny bits of poo in the water - perhaps from eating random insects getting into the indoor enclosure? When the cricket house is near, she watches them with great...

Hey interested to see pictures of what your breeding this year, geckos, monitors snakes, dragons etc the lot anything and everything:P

In the coming months I am going to get a couple of Beardies, and I was wondering if they would be ok with my Bluie/Cunninghams? It's a large outdoor enclosure but I don't want conflict. In my opinion a black/dark Eastern with a yellow mouth is an amazing looking animal and that is what I'm...

My latest prides and joy! 6 weeks old and adorable! They've been seemingly happily basking since I got them home, there's two rocks for basking of equal "heat value" and two branches as well, rather specifically to ensure harmony stays intact! One has a slimmer head and body than the other...

I was in Petbarn yesterday and looking at all the things they have for reptiles and pets in general and I wanted to buy lots of it and get more animals. It got me thinking what limits the number of reptiles/animals people have? I am primarily limited by space living an a unit. I wanted to...

Hi All, THINKING about making an enclosure for my 3 Turtles and 2 EWD to live in together just after thoughts about this. The enclosure will have more than enough room for all to live in a move freely, food is readily available for all.

Hi guys, I am in the process of setting up a new enclosure for my EWD. It measures 120H x 120W x 75D(the enclosure that is!) and was previously set up for a python. I have put a large shelf in the corner and fitted large branch. I also have made up a vertical branch that is about 75cm...

Found some! Thanks to all who tried to help! Casey

Hi, I am soon to be the owner of a hatchling eastern water dragon. I am currently setting up the tank and went on the search for UVA/B fluros. Now what a mine field of information good and bad. What does everyone here recommend/use. I have read so much that says that one brand is terrible for...

hi guys heres my enclosure that i have built. well just for some background info first, my partner and i decided a couple of months ago now, that we will get some eastern long neck turtles. anyway me being greedy said well wouldnt it look better if we had something else in with them? a few...

hi guys i have just purchased 2 EWDs on saturday and i have noticed that there are a few differences, i measured the length of them and 1 is approximately 18cm long including the tail and the other is 20cm long. the one that is longer has much brighter colouring than the smaller one, would this...

Hi all so I was looking through threads and noticed that amazing enclosure that just plain nuts has on show with the aquarium in the bottom. I was just wondering how many people have that in an enclosure, what sort of snakes they have in it and if they have turtles or fish in there? Has anyone...

I've had my baby eastern water dragon jamba since february. I never knew his/her exact length back then but I recently measured its length roughly from snout to vent (not incl. tail) and it was 6cm. Approximately how old could this be? Also, how do I get it to eat fruit & vegetables... Im kind...

hey everyone i have realised that not as many people keep EWD compared to Bearded Dragons. i dont have a EWD but would like if people could post some pics of their own? they are such awesome lizards and i cant wait to own one myself. Thanks.

hello all, sorry to be disturbing the guru's with the usual 'help me' questions! owned multiple herp's over the years but only just got back into ownership with a pair of ewd's,not sure how old but they are only 10cm's in length so rather young im assuming. picked them up last thursday and...

Not all lizards even though this is in the lizard forum but hey. The first shot is my fav. That's Jumanji my Stimmo, you can see his colour better in the other pic though . They are only some quick snaps from my iPhone. But I thought I would share them anyway rather than just tucking them away...

hey guys, im getting some (10+) white lipped tree frog bubs soon. When they get bigger i want to move them into a big 4 foot tank and setup up a rainforest setup and want to put angle headed dragons in. now, if the dragons and frogs are adults, they would both be too big for eachother too eat...

I was just browsing as usual and noticed that a lot more people keep bearded dragons rather than water dragons is there any particular reason for this?? personally i cant wait to get a EWD they are so awesome and look so cool.

As the title says guys, what is your favourite reptile, and why is it your favourite? Also how did you guys get into keeping reptiles? I've always been fascinated with anything out of the ordinary, I love sharks and crocodiles, and I've always been fascinated with snakes. My GF suggested we...

Im interested to know who else out there gets weird animals? I once had a Java finch pair up with a yellow cockatiel and had a cat that thought it was a dog. At the moment I have a silky bantam chook that sleeps with my great danes, a cat that follows or goes to kids that are upset(crying)...

Hey guys, I'm new to APS forums, so I wondered if anyone would be good enough to post pics of wild beardies that they saw in Oz, since I'm not from Australia and I would love to see wild beardies bearding their way. :D Thanks guys, you're the best if you do this for me! :) For starters I'll...

Hi fellow APSians, been lurking for a little while and I thought it time to make a profile and maybe do some posting. I previously kept a bearded dragon for about 10 years that pass away last December (Rip Big guy:cry:) Decided I wasn't going to get another lizard of any type. Then a mate of...

Just a small question. How many people out there breed crickets for their lizards. My 2 EWD's are starting to consume a vast amount of crickets and the thought of breeding crickets crossed my mind. Another food source as mentioned before about "Do EWD eat fish" absoloutly. They love em, so a...

hi all. just wondering what your reptiles name is and if there is any reason for this. i recently got two snakes. a darwin for the mrs and a jungle for me. the mrs called hers SAM (just coz) and says its a good name. yet i had to go through 40+ until she agreed on DIMIT. think you should guess...

I was talking to a friend who used to own one and she said she had a little pond that she would put feeder fish into. I had never considered dragons eating fish before and haven't really seen any care sheets that say it. So just wondering if anyone else does it and is it a staple or just a treat?

G'day all. I'm fairly new to the site and am interested in meeting some new people with the same interests and also hearing what people have got at home/their own little wildlife park and what their names are, how many, what's you'r fav, some characteristics, plans for the future, photos, how...

This morning I found a lizard hiding in some of my unsorted moving boxes (Scared the crap out of me) and was wondering if anybody would beable to help me identify what sort it was ;)

Hia folks, Boredom has set in and I wanna know what reptile you first bought! Mine was a beautiful blue tongue skink named "Salami"
