Water dragon wants to go out!

My female Water dragon.
She is now in another terrarium.
This terrarium was a homemade terrarium, 4' long by 2' wide and 3' high I did with my father. I do not have this terrarium anymore.

how old is she and how did you get her so tamed?

[Vivementvert]

@NINPHMTDS By the time of the video, she was 3 years old. She is now 5 ½ years old. I got her at 6 months old. Small sessions every day is the key, at first, only reach inside and pet for several minutes, and go to the next step only when the lizard is comfortable with each of your actions. Next step is to scoop it and let it flat on your hand while not moving, still inside the terrarium.

@NINPHMTDS Next is getting her out and moving around with it, etc. Some steps might be achieved quickly, while others will take several months. Short taming session often and perseverance and calm are the key.

1:15 what was in that cage in the background amazing cwd i got mine about a week ago and my male jumps around everywhere and whenever your not watching him he would get mad while my female is in the back looking at him like why did i get caged together with this goof

[Vivementvert]

@lizardcentral There are tree trunk pieces that have been fixed to the background wall so she could climb up to the second floor of the terrarium. She uses them alot, I recommend something similar so your dragon will have to build some muscles as he ages.

hey I have a water dragon too and I was wondering how to sex them its lips are kinda starting to go light blue so I think he may be a male but I dont know send me a response if you can thx

[Vivementvert]

You cannot sex them before 1½ to 2 years of age with any certainty. It's all about slight morphological differences. Type Sexing your Chinese water dragon on google to find Tricia's Water Dragon website page on sexing. She lists several physical cues. Then, look for male pictures and females pictures of them on google. The more you will see, the more your eye will get familiar and eventually it will be easy to tell apart sexually mature specimens. :)

Just saying, Its fine when she rubs her hand on the cage, but if she starts to rub her face up against it... Your water dragons mouth will look hideous and infected in a month or so. It will get a crater and polish away the skin, I was gonna buy one that did this but then I noticed the crater on its lip and asked the employee. That is what she told me.

thats a pretty lizard

[adamjameswilloughby]

nice setup bud iv just finished 1 my self vid on my youtube page have a peep let me know wot u think

[cslammon]

They can't recognize glass as a solid, thats not it trying to get out, thats it tryin to move past the glass. Thats how they develop nose rub which can result in infection, broken jaws, and death. You need to cover up the bottom of the glass atleast 6 inches so they see its a solid.

this means he wants u to hold him more

[subarusown]

@0darkTunes You have to look at the shape of the head. If I could see the bottom side of it's hind legs I could tell you for sure. Since I have a Male. He is only about a year and a half old. With Males they will have several small dots in a line on their hind legs. If they don't have the spots it is a female.

[0darkTunes]

@subarusown Im pretty sure thats a female, caus i got a male and its younger than this one yet its much more bigger and those things on its back are huge. I have bad english so cant describe well lol

[GREATFREDZILLA]

[NINPHMTDS]
