Water dragon pics

Its two for two lol had the carpet python show up the other day and today this guy or girl?showed up on the back lawn.This guy or girl shows up every year it lives under the house next door.It loves all kinds of things to eat mum buys kangaroo mince to feed it.Would that be ok to feed and it eats vegies aswell.The funny thing is we dont have any creeks or rivers that close as they usally like the water hey.

Cheers Mat.

Nice pics It looks like a male to me, imo you shouldn't feed it at all.

It's a handsome male. nice spikes too. Anyway you can feed it if you want. It is practicaly your pet if it lives in your backyard. I'd even set up a body of water for the beautiful dragon. Keep away from feeding it "too much" red meat. It "can" make them fat. (not that fat is a terribly bad thing) they love grapes and insecks. That one would even make fast work of mice. Just keep in mind if you feed it alot,,make sure you put up live food so he doesn't forget how to hunt.

Nices pics
Water dragons usually live near water but because there a simply so many of them(quite possibly too many) they get forced into other areas. I recently had one move into my yard too.

Im fairly sure its illegal to feed them, but its not really going to hurt. I would just leave it to get its own food though if it was me.

Yep thanks guys and girls as for feeding him he really doesnt rely on us that much mum gives him food very rarely and only a small amount but will try and keep it to very little to none.We had a lot of little blokes around for a while but the kookaburras polish them off real quick.I dont know who the mother is as ive never seen another dragon here ever and ive been here for 28 years lol.
