my chinese water dragon keeps on going into the water and there are big rocks in the water. it gets in between the rocks and justs lays there. then i put it back on its sleeping platform thing (a log with a flat top) but it gets back into the water and moves around really fast like it is drowning.
the water is 2 inches deep. the dragon is about 4-5 months old. and it is 3 inches long not including the tail.

mine is about 8 or 9 months old, and from tip to tail, he's probably somewhere between a foot and a half to two feet long.
but mine seems to hate the darn water. sometimes he'll sit on the edge of his tub, so just his tail is in there, but if we put him in, all he does is climb out as soon as possible.
i STILL have no idea what the heck temperature the water should be at. SOMEONE needs to put that to an exact degree. this whole "pee warm, lukewarm' bussiness is useless. there's huge differences between what i might think is lukewarm and what my boyfriend thinks.
anyways. as we don't have a heater, we assume that the water will become room temperature after a while anyways, but our guy won't ever get in the water. wich is bad, cause he has massive problems shedding. but yeah. how do you trian yours to actually acknoledge the "water' part of their names??

I don't know about water (though I strongly suspect that your teacher is confused), but there are breathable liquids. In "The Abyss", one of the characters breaths a pink florocarbon fluid. Actually, it was just coloured water and the actor was merely holding his breath, but in another scene the fluid is actually demonstrated with a live rat. The rat you see immersed and breathing in the fluid is real, and it is really breathing. I suspect it's actually that very scene put through the grapevine for a few years that you refer to as the underwater rat experiment. Similar fluids are used to treat people who have sustained burn damage to their lungs. It think it keeps the lungs from drying out.

This behavior is normal. They can't breathe underwater but they enjoy soaking frequently.
