For years, an interesting lizard species has languished in the background of the reptile-keeping hobby. While many keepers struggled to maintain lizards that were too large, too aggressive or too difficult to maintain; Chinese water dragons have sat quietly by, going un-noticed by the mainstream. Unlike some of the more commonly kept lizards, water dragons are an excellent species for captive maintenance, and keepers are beginning to notice these pretty green lizards. However, as when caring for any other pet, new keepers must strive to learn as much as possible about the behavior, ecology and biology of the species. This is the only way to provide them with the highest quality of life possible. Inside, you will find the information necessary to get started keeping Chinese water dragons. You will learn about the habitat requirements and nutritional needs of these lizards, as well as the things you need to look for when selecting your new pet. The author, Ben Team, is an environmental educator and author with over 16 years of professional reptile-keeping experience. Ben currently maintains www.FootstepsInTheForest.com, where he shares information, narration and observations of the natural world.
