What are some things to know about Chinese water dragon care?

Chinese water dragons are best kept at 80% humidity and they really like enclosures that are big enough for them to move around in.

Chinese water dragons need a very large enclosure, at least 2-3 feet deep and 5-6 feet tall. An enclosure that is this big will be costly for you or you'll have to make it on your own. They mainly eat insects and they grow to be around 2 - 3 feet in length.

Thanks for the replies is there anything else I need to know about them?

They require a lot of care and patience, they aren't easy pet reptiles at all and I wouldn't recommend them to any new reptile owner.

My personal favorite actually. Chinese water dragons need a large, tall enclosure, high humidity, and a varied diet. They also require strong UVB lighting, plenty of climbing space, and stable temperatures. Stress and improper setups can cause health issues, so they’re not ideal for beginners.
