Water Dragon Feeding!

[AfrieandBlondie]

Love it! They are soo cute! <3

[fizdik1]

terrible disgusting I do not like it

[thorngburg402]

quick question: i notice your dragon is a bit darker on top but a healthy green on bottom-this is how my wd is. does yours show any sign of stress?

[OliverAdam77]

I am thinking about buying a Green Water Dragon... Any tips on what I would need?

[Cooboy0298]

It looks like chris bosh

[WoodiesForSale]

that fish is too big for him . it is also too slippery.

they eat insects you goose. You should clean off the crap on the feeding shelf and put a couple of partly killed crickets and woodies on there. alternatively put all that mess on your dinner plate and then put your meal on top and try to eat it without ingesting all the crap as well.pretty hard huh? make sure he has sun light available (not through a window)or an artificial alternative so his bones will actually grow

[Karmahinc]

love the vid man, great music, great looking dragon. i got a pair myself and im PRAYING that they are both either female or a mating pair. two dudes wont last long before something ugly happens. they are the age of yours. things are cool.....for now. anyway, great vid!

[beakerluvsbooboo]

just curious but are they the same as bearded dragons? or totally different? my nephew has a bearded dragon and i was looking into getting one for myself ..or something similar. just curious and thanks for the info!

[whataboofhead]

What do i do? I got my water dragon 3 days ago and i havent seen it eat yet, although the crickets are dissapearing. Is this normal?

[WoodiesForSale]

@whataboofhead dont leave crickets in there if he is not eating them they chew on lizards and cause infection

[1987TitsMagee]

Nice enclosure... Mine is a 55 gal with a custom top kinda like this one. Full aquarium with fish in the bottom, wood frame on top, closed with a place for bedding, basking, climbing, and slide down to the aquarium below. My water dragon will actually dive for feeder fish. Kinda cool. They say your not supposed to feed these lizards an only fish diet though. I like to feed mine at least one fuzzy a week. Crickets and random bugs and lizards in between.

[mamama361]

he looks thin.



[CWDSarerad]

Aww, what a doll. How old is he/she? Mine's about the same size and we aren't sure how old she is.

[CWDSarerad]

he's 8 months old?? mine's about the same size I thought she was ALOT younger. Huh, interesting.

[WelcomeToMyLife91]

I have two, called Ian and Clive, lol.

[360andmerule]

would the vivexotic ax 36 vivarium be ok for one?

[benquinn1690]

i Just bought mine today, Its name is buddha, ( still kind of yougn to be very sure of the sex, was told a boy but I know its a little early to tell at 8 months, WILL BE POSTING VIDEOS SOON!!!!! love this one

[mGoLos]

[Demonkiller666x]

lol

[wolfj171]

like its toung

[hollywoodtomato]

Lovely video :-) It's great that your dragon likes fish. Mine eat a comet goldfish once, didn't like it, and hasn't eaten one since :-)

[OrlandotheAxe731]

PLEASE tellme how you kept this little guy alive. Every Iguana I've ever had has died, and now after seeing all of these Water Dragon videos, I want one! What do I need?

[MegaRetroful]

nice why does everyone say that if there brown there strest out wrong every young or baby water dragon a nearly brown

[LandonRocksAtGH]

@MegaRetroful mine is really green when hes under a light but browner when hes not in light

[Fleefles]

Pet store feeder fish are full of parasites and other icky stuff. Shouldn't feed them to your pet. :(

[jii345]

i have one too:)

[memyselfandi337]

i really want one of this or a bearded dragon. I have a leo gecko but that all

[eetmyfeet]

that is clearly not a pinkie, its a fish =) and yes its alive. See the eggs stuck on his widdle face? oh such a little cutie

[eetmyfeet]

I personally own a Bearded and love him to pieces! He sits on my lap like a cat. I used to work at a reptile-only pet store and, In my opinion, if you want a more calm, less jumpy lizard, get a beardie. The water dragons are fantastic though, the only hard part is keeping the water clean, that can get a bit rough in larger tanks unless you have a good filter. With my beardie, he just has a calci-sand filled tank with a smaller removable bathing area, which I have found to be much easier to clean

[dave8594]

I either want to get a bearded dragon or a chinese water dragon. I cant decide, what do you guys think? Ive done all my research and i have the space and money and i am going to be responsible. i will give it all the care it needs. Basically, its going to be spoiled. so bearded or water dragon?

[PockyInABox]

Dragons can run on water only for escape

[gymnasticsstar12345]

aare those pinkeys and are they alive?

[TheAditya94]

its sum kinda fish not pinkys lol

[JonoELoco]

there mollys there some kind of tropical fish

[evand848]

they are red platys

[evand848]

why dont they put my 9 inch cichlid fish in there he'll eat the dragon lol

[Beardyz]

@gymnasticsstar12345 They were fish...

[jandkmom1]

This is cool if could 555555 stars and 4444 dollors

[ltmangaka]

thats quite the setup. how often do you need drain and clean it?

[13urningheal]

that wwas funny after the first fish hes like ummmm that was good hahah cool dragon

[hiphoppybboy]

is this the type of lizard that can run on water? i just notice the legs

[pixiestar123]

the type that can run on water is called a basilisk

[Basalisk172]

Nice looking dragon, and awesome viviarium setup i like the wooden deck thing

[reptiworld]

can u do a vid of the tank its awesomeness =P

[mysticsack]

i got one of 2 of these guys and had a heatlamp above the tank that they were in and i went to find on of them fried dried stiff from the lamp i was like ohhhh shit!

[jfizz313]

nice w made the mistake of getting two they got into a fight while i was at school and one ended up on its back which as you might no they cant breath like that....

[D3monspawn]

You have a little one! Mine is pushing 7! And still kicks ass when we toss food in every week :D

[cisar8]

my water dragon was a beast at hunting!

[treegroscedude]

they kindof look like iguanas O.o

[Fob616]

but these are beast!!!!

[Jonahstrials]

I was wondering what insects you WOULD NOT feed your water dragon. Mine loves rolli pollis...the ones that curl up in a little ball. He cant eat enough of them,but I was worried cause they do have a thick shell..What do you think?

[isyourmamaallama]

I LOVE the setup i have a water dragon thats about ur water dragons age im getting another one a female this time :)

[mGoLos]

Thank you very much for your heartfelt and personal comment.

Please don't think of this as self-promotion, but I think you may also enjoy my other video called Iguana Feeding and I'd LOVE to hear your opinion on it.

Hope you'll accept the invite I've sent you and give Picasso (great name) my best :D

[somas23]

what did he eat a mouse or something else and if else what?

[BecksGd]

meraviglioso!!!

[TheUTubeRebel]

song please.

[ty1977]

@TheUTubeRebel  its not " stuck in middle with u"

[mGoLos]

@ty1977 It used to be.... in fact if you have the mp3 I suggest you mute this video and play that song instead. It was a great song for this video, unfortunately YT shut it down and I had to use audioswap.

[DayLight95]

all reptiles do, thats why you hav to whas your hands after handeling them

[djlackie09]

i had 3 water dragons i love them thay are great fun :)

[urbanfresh1988]

2 weeks without food and would die. when you bring them home. u put them in there new cage. then take some paper and tape it to any areas that the dragon can see out of the tank. u can try to feed em but they prolly wont eat. around the 3rd day you can get them to start eating. they just get stressed out very easy. if your dragon dont eat after about 5-6 days i would either call the store and make them exchange it or call a vet. it may have something wrong.

[zafert85]

hahaha cool water dragon and nice vid man

[vitasoy1183]

have you observe them to catch fish in the water as well.. just wondering..

[mGoLos]

I haven't no, but they can stay submerged for more than thirty minutes so I expect that they can catch fish.

[deathtobill5]

cool

[daretohaveorangehair]

aww cute little baby mine got pretty big but unfortunatly died from an incedent :(

[AweSomo84]

Wow , he's amazing :D, nice video.

[mGoLos]

Thanks :)

[AweSomo84]

Your welcome, he looks like a little T-rex :).

He looks happy :).

p.s look out with the screws( rust ) and wood ( like paint and stuff)it can leak toxic in the water.

Take care me :P

[ClareBear246]

i rescued a baby water dragon from a cat. and my dad has a reptile licsence so he said we could keep him. i have looked on the internet to see what he likes to eat but he doesnt seem to be eating. do u no wat i can do he is only this big

I I

and also is there any way i can get him tame to be handled casue he still runs away and sometimes opens his mouth at me please help :S

[mGoLos]

Hey. My friend feeds his water dragon lots of rainworms so maybe you could dig up some very small worms for him. They are difficult to tame I think, but remember to be very patient and if you find out what he likes you could bait him with it. Good luck :)

[mGoLos]

Yes. watch?v=Lx3a5NF1-WA

[ACDC123459]

how big is your tank?

like how many gallons?

[mGoLos]

It's a 100-gallon tank.

[AntelopeDaCantaloupe]

Oh yeah, also, what makes some reptiles better and easier pets than others besides temper/taming/handling and the variety of foods and equipment?

[mGoLos]

It's mostly a of question of which margin of error they individually allow. Water Dragons are not very forgiving if you've made any mistakes. A green Iguana is esier because you can move it (and the UV lamp + heating) to another room without difficulty. This gives room for equipment adjustments etc. Also, water dragons like living and varied food and they enjoy swimming, but in good water requiring good pumps and filters. Expensive and impractical. A great deal of maintenance is needed.

[AntelopeDaCantaloupe]

So water dragons absolutely love water and are in a way, like turtles? If you move a water dragon to a new room, it will be mad? Thanks btw :)

[mGoLos]

Yes, they can hunt in water as well. Movingday is not their favorite thing in the world, but they adjust well, the trick is to leave them alone as much as possible until they start enjoying their new surroundings (swimming, eating, even jumping and climbing)

[AntelopeDaCantaloupe]

Isn't that what you're supposed to do with almost every lizard so they can get used to their surroundings so they won't have stress

[mGoLos]

Yes. You could call it a rule of thumb with any animal that doesn't domesticate very easily or not at all. Patience is the key.

[AntelopeDaCantaloupe]

I heard iguanas usually take months to tame down and leopard geckos are often calm as adults. Patience probably is very important :) Thanks, I might get a crested gecko

[mGoLos]

It was nice meeting you. Good luck with whichever pet you choose :)

[AntelopeDaCantaloupe]

Thanks. :) I think that a crested gecko would be suitable for me because of food and temperment, etc. Again, thanks for giving me some info about some pets :)

[AntelopeDaCantaloupe]

When you say like, beginner, when is it until you're not a beginner reptile keeper?

I used to have a turtle for a few years, but died And now I have a leopard gecko I got about a month ago I think, doing good So I want either a crested gecko a water dragon, or an iguana I've heard that crestedgeckos can be suitable for beginners but water dragons andiguanas are not for beginners, so...

[mystimayhem]

awe!!! so cute!!

[r1u2s3h1234]

hey dude just a question k i have a water dragon had him for about a month anyways he just finished the shedding phase with his tail shedding and during that time he didnt eat crickets or nething i tried meal worm and coated both in calcium no go however everyday he still made a bowl movment ect. i have put live plants in the tank and have found bite marks in some is it possible hes eating those instead and how can i get him back to eating crickets and stuff im just concerned thanks

[TeguLove]

wat is the price of a water dragon

[mGoLos]

Depends ... it's not that expensive in itself but the equipment will cost you.

[Killa9622]

what kind of water  dragon is it

[metsfan4life95]

how much would a small 1 be

[herpsnmusicislife1]

fish is a bad idea =/

[sonicmariogurl]

why???

[zparrow]

Fish is only a bad idea if you use it like the principal food

[soulkitchen1979]

no, you can buy them at any pet store.

[786aa1907]

could this beat a blue tongue skink in a fight?

[kuballer19932]

i love lizards, i have a Nigerian Uromastyx.

[xXDeadoraliveXx]

what did it eat?

[mGoLos]

A common aqaurium-fish we call platy.

[thegrayfox26]

He likes you

[yankerstanker]

that's sick, i'm thinking of getting a water dragon or maybe an iguana...hard choice.

[ireallyjustdunno]

depends largely on the room you have, and time you have to spend with them. It takes a few months to a year to tame a WD, and taming an iguana requires years spent with a captive bred juvenile. Also, water dragons remain sweet through the breeding season but require live food.

[Whitehawk3000]

Cute!

[saskue2145]

what are you feeding it?

[jakondek13]

yeh ? how much you have terrarium ?

I have 200 x 200 x 300

and now i have 1 water dragon but in the future i buy second dragon ^^

[Studman2011]

you might want to tell your friend that he needs to feed it like twice a day it looks a bit skinny

[petcrazythemenniss]

oh its a bit skinny but nice vid

[jakondek13]

If you wont have this animal. You mas have 600$ I pay for my 600$( with terrarium )

[reggie15norman]

you been conned my dad got 1 male and 1 female water lizard with terrarium and the stuff needed and food for 150 pound roughly 300 dollars

[Studman2011]

600$ my fucking ass man i got i male 1 female water dragons for 50$ plus food and made my own tank for it fuck buying a tank its a rip off man.

[greengrendel]

I WANTS ONEEE!!!!

[kittensxkisses]

aw i have a water dragon too

[Kerochan101]

lol it was so cute when the fish was stuck in its mouth

[ryancolgan75]

Nice video, well done. Looks like a great habitat too. If you like watching water dragons eat check out my videos of Charlie eating a variety of stuff including another lizard!

[zallamh]

they awesome and run around alot when they little

[velvet9mm]

are they good handlers

[Alfcpy]

Water dragons can get pretty big, between 2-3 feet. Well, their bodies get about a foot, the tails are the really long part, about twice the length of the body. Mine's only a few months old, and he's already a foot long, tail included.

Water dragons are definately my favourite kind of lizard, They live long, up to 20 years, are pretty friendly, and are sooo cute when they eat. They lick their lips. Isn't it adorable?

[Izhmash47]

awesome, i had one awhile back

[mikojoee]

how old is that one in the video?

[TRAVISBRABEC]

i have one that same size

[natethelunardragon]

this is funny by the way travis this is me if you find this

[monkynutzuk]

how much?

[Lizarrdo]

Usually $30

[nathanlobby123]

what do i have to do and im not sure if my lizard is still shedding its skin its shedded its head but there are no evidence that its still shedding

[nathanlobby123]

i have a problem i think im scared to pick my water dragon up bare handed ive done it with a special glove though!

[cube890]

water dragons are very unlikely to bite you they are just very skitish when you pick it up hold it for a few second then it should calm down the get more doseile the older they get

[scalpine]

yyaaay i love water dragons, ima put a vid of my beardy eatin n stuff soon and btw, to hone his hunting skills try clipping one fin on the fish n put him in the water, the fish will swim in a circle and your dragon will catch it. eventually u might not even have to clip a fin(just a suggestion and sum ppl think its cruel 4 the fish so..)

[nathanlobby123]

ive tried that but it doesnt work lol my water dragon hardly eats

[nathanlobby123]

hi im kind of scared to touch my own lizard you know because it wont settle down! i only got him last week but he keeps trying to escape he wont hardly let me touch him and it hardly eats and now im getting pissed off.... i dont know what to do

[mGoLos]

You need to be patient. These animals have very small brains and it takes him a long time to learn his new home, surroundings and your face. I don't think you're doing anything wrong, you just can't expect results that quickly :)

[nathanlobby123]

if i wanto touch my lizard while its shedding its skin what do i have to do because im getting impatient because its so cute and i wanto stroke it but ive been told while they are shedding skin you cant

[beastyfourpointsix]

Hey the more you handle him or her it will eventually calm down. There is no reason to be scared, it cant hurt you especially if it is a small one. My larger Water Dragon is that way when I havent held him in a while, he gets all squirmy and tries to jump off but eventually he gets it...he isnt going anywhere!

[petcrazythemenniss]

miy water dragon jumps for engaland when i touch him but he eats well and he tries to escape aswell its coz the dond realise they cant get to wot they see on the oth side of the glass so they try and try to get at it.

[co2894]

you have the awesomest setup!

[Tar0Kun]

lol! cool! he had to brake the fish in half to eat it!

[franhaydin]

legal... fila seu terrario inteiro para ve-lo...

Cool... Queue your entire terrario ve to it ...

[LoKiUSMC]

cool lizard... ever put the fish in the water an let him chase em?

[dennfamily]

aaaaaaaaah its pretty cool. :)
