eastern water dragon diy enclosure

[kr0nick]

Hi all i am looking at getting two eastern water dragons and i wondering if i have a 6 foot glass aquarium and make a frame above and across from that point out of pine and then fly screen the outside of that would that be alright for water dragons?

i have a very simple paint drawing but it wont let me upload it so sorry ill try again later any help would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance.

that is a rough picture lol but kinda shows wot i mean.
sorry the pic is pretty simple but cant do much on paint but i want the swimming area to be on display with the screen surrounding the rest.
do water dragons need alot of humidity thanks?

kronick - dont fill up with too much water as EWD swim and submerge from predators mainly i have mentioned on other threads i made a large outdoor pond very deep for them 4 Foot and wide only to drown some at one stage so now they have one foot of water only this will also help in cleaning EWD go to the toilet in there water so this will need cleaning ALL THE TIME as they drink this water too!!!!

if the water is deep put some large rocks in there, EWD head to mainly to escape from predators and bath in the water away from predators so they feel safe. i dont have any pics of my outdoor but have some of thier winter enclosure
