Water Dragons

[africancichlidau]

Can anyone reccommend a species of water dragon that could SAFELY share an outdoor enclosure with turtles down here in Sunny one day pouring the next Melbourne?

Do you have some aggressive turtles afrofish?

 

[africancichlidau]

Nope stoneageman it's the turtles I am worried about

 

[Slateman]

[africancichlidau]

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.

Would gippsland water dragons be better as they are found further south??

 

[africancichlidau]

They are exactly the species I was thinking of Alexahnder

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.

 

[Alexahnder]

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

Maybe some gippslands, beardies, mountain dragons or probaby jacky's.

What about blue tongues?
