Gday all. Try as I might, I cant seem to find a caresheet on EWD's anywhere!! So i'm asking for your advice instead...
I wish to purchase two fairly young dragons soon and keep them in a 4'x2' aquarium, with an area about 1 foot long blocked off for a 'pool'. I have just a few questions...
-How old would they have to be for me to distinguish male from female? I want to buy one of each and breed.
- I'm aware I'll need a uv globe, but which one? Ie Repti glo/sun/light/fancything (whatever they are called) 2.0 - 10.0?
-For a basking light, what sort of wattage should I look at? And should I have it on a timer or thermo? If on thermo, what temp? It will be an infra-red or a ceramic
-Whats the deal with feeding? I know they eat insects and salad, but how much how often etc.
-Will I need a filter for the water section?
-What sort of substrate should I use? I want somthing fairly aesthetically pleasing as this will be a bit of a show piece
-Does it matter if I use real plants or plastic plants?
Any other advice you can offer me will be quite helpful.
