Hi, This is Rick, for those that remember me, I thought I post an update on my oldest waterdragon Pete. I found him dead yesterday, he had been getting slow this year, so I kind of expected it. I used to post here often but was kicked off for saying something negative about the webmaster. Old Pete lived 18 years, I feel likes an end to an era! R.I.P! I owe his long life to not over feeding him and doing the opposite of what most people recommend by making sure I could alway see his hip bones, fat kills! it kills waterdragons the same way it kills people. The life span on these animals is not 6-8 years despite the common literature. Take care and good luck with yours!
