Do not put a pond section in unless you are capable of cleaning the water out daily. I will do a separate post about this later ... but ..... I had my first clutch of EWD's in 1990. I kept them in a 2 foot fish tank. I used river pebbles to make a land section and just filled the tank with water to about 3 inches. Over a three week period all of the dragons died. The reason they died is from a a disease (the name of which escapes me) that they get from basically consuming their own excrement (by drinking water they ahve crapped in). Your dragons WILL crap in their water. If they then drink that water they will be prone ot this disease. It is very hard to clean out the water in a fixed pond section of a fish tank. Put in a water bowl that they can get in and out of and you can easily remove for DAILY cleaning and water replacement.
