Anyone know a thing or two about these lizards or have them as pets? I've got three and i'm having some problems with the three =\

I've got a water dragon and a bearded dragon - they are lizards. What kind of problems are you having? Hope it is nothing serious.

But I have to be honest with you, you should be able to find all the info you need right here online. Each species has it's own particular needs for heat, humidity, water, diet, lighting etc. Have you tried doi9ng some searches for info?

i've done a ton of research, but i want to know if anyone has had any experiences with 'em, I've got a new gecko, put it in the cage where the other live, and they dont like the new one. and they're biting her =\

Sounds like a problem we had with birds once. We had to put a wire divider wall in for a few months until the birds got used to one another. Then they were fine.

I don't know much about reptiles but is it possible they might be enemies in the wild? If they are different types of geckos. That would explain it possibly.

~sorry that was a lame joke

nah gem. they're both of the same kind. I've put a little hiding place for the newer one, just so the two older ones that have lived in my room for 4 years get to know the newer one, hopefully everything turns out ok :\

Pure,
I have a few various dragons....

If the newer dragon is getting bit you might want to move it out of that cage.... one thing with dragons is the larger ones eat the smaller ones... one rule of thumb is if any dragons head can fit inside anothers mouth, well it will be eaten. I had this done with one of my bearded dragons..... Also they need a good diet of meal worms, crickets, wax worms, but again if they are small in size so should the crickets and worms be extra small..... the bigger they get then you can move to the larger size worms and crickets... When they are larger you can give them pinkies 2-3 times per month. Also you should always coat the food with a powdered vitaimn/protein mix you can get at pet stores.... they need lots of vitamins and proteins in their meals... Also light (2 different kinds of light for a healthy lifestyle) and water, amounts vary with the type you have... But always have a clean saucer of water for them, some types don't ever remember where the water is and you will have to remind them from time to time... I do this by filling the saucer and gently dipping his head in it... =) He then gets the idea and remembers until he walks away... lol

Anyway there are tons of sites that you can find the exact info you need to take care of that little guy! Good Luck!

yeah, the same rules apply to leopered geckos, the pet store owner said i should let her in with the two I have now, but the newer female I have is much bigger than the older female i already have in the cage. So she shouldnt get eaten. The pet store said let her try to fight back when she gets attacked, but the thing is she's so calm, she wont, she's the most peaceful lizard i've ever seen, thanks for the information though.

By the way, I see that was your first post, go fuck yourself!
