Care of The Chinese Water Dragon
Copyright © 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999 by Tricia Power
First of all ... Congratulations! I imagine you are either reading this because you are thinking about getting a water dragon, just bought one or already have one. Water dragons are wonderful lizards! If you get your dragon going properly you will have a fairly tame, non aggressive pet!
I have written this care guide specifically for Chinese water dragons but there are a few other species that are very similar in care. The Australian water dragon, Sailfin lizards, and most species of Basilisks can be kept in a similar fashion as those described in this document.

That's because they are called "Chinese Water Dragon Lizard".
Chinese Water Dragons (Physignathus Cocincinus) are by far a hardy and magnificent creature. They are native throughout southern parts of China as well as southeast Asia, Laos, eastern Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam & Cambodia. They can be found in riverine forests, or anywhere near fresh water. Similar to an Iguana, yet Chinese Water Dragons only tend to grow around 3 feet long. They also make wonderful pets and do not require as much care.
