Hey africa,at the reptile park i thought they had easter water dragons & beardies they were very fat lizards so i think to stop attacks they feed very well.I asked the lady there as i thought red bellies & copperheads would take lizards but was assured they were well fedas it was a communal pit with lizards turtles & snakes.

Wow, thanks Popp, that sounds like heaven. Guess I missed out on a lot of education when I missed the bash

God, I'm so jealous of all you guys with your outdoor enclosers. Weather here isn't reliable enough to keep anything outdoors even in summer.

A friend of mine keeps eastern water dragons,beardies and turtles together in one of his out door pits.
I dunno how eastern waters would go in melbourne but you are only 4-5 hours away from here.Not a great deal of change climate wise.

if it isn't warm enough in the cage you could try using something like URS heat cord
