I'm just pointing out that lots of captive WDs I've seen have had damaged noses, I am aware that lots are also fine but I'm talking in a general sense from ones that I've seen (I don't keep any at the moment either).
"Gippy" water dragons live in cooler temperature ranges (Gippsland and in the southern alps, eg: the Wonnongatta) than those found in Melbourne.
