Ditto to what Marie & Lady said.
I had a Chinese Water Dragon for 5 years.
They make great pets, are modestly priced & IMHO are very beautiful.
1)Do not let them out of the cage! CWDs have this thing where for a minute or more they don't move. If the human thinks they can relax their guard....POW! off like a shot & they are very fast!
2)Make sure the water is clean. This is an issue because CWDs like to have enough water to get into/bath/dunk, but then also often pass their waste into the water.
If you are willing to ensure that their needs are met, the CWD is a fine choice for a lizard pet. I have had several herps over the years, enjoyed them all, but my favorite was probably the Dragon.
Good Luck!

P.S. Look up & join the local herpetalogical society or club in your area. You will learn alot & be glad that you did.

You need atleast a 40 gallon tank to start out with and use jungle bedding(a.k.a. bed-a-beast), uv light, basking light, branches, water bowl deep enough to soak in, hiding spot. Hope this helps email me if you want to know more.
