I know either FroggieB or Jobi is going to out do me, so I'll just give you a quick reply.



The blue mouthed MHDs are either A. lepidogaster, or A. coronata. I know for a fact A. coronata have the diamonds, which is most likely what you have.



You definatly need hieght. They spend most all of their time on verticle branches, as they are arboreal.



Mountain Horned Dragons (common name) are from south... east(?)Asia. Anyway, Vietnam, Malaysia, those sort of places.



They are from the forest, where he humidity ranges form 60% to 80% on average (about). So that should give you an idea of how much humidity they need.



The temps can be anywhere from 72F to 85F, roughly. Recent data concludes a basking spot is a plus, not nessecary. Basking temps should average 85F to 95F, maybe a little higher once in a while.



You should try to provide a large water area, moving and preferably filtered. You will find yourself changing water a lot due to feces so filtration is not all that important. Moving water atracts MHDs, espeacily when dripping of a leaf. I find that "falling water" works best, although Bubblers and other means of moving water are ideal. (By faling water I mean large scale drippers or a water fall of some sort)



And real quick, blue mouthed is not normal whith other speciese such as A. capra or A. Armata. Nor is the black diamonds.



That is all for now.
