I have to disagree with that. That waterdragon is the perfect picture of health. As far as the hip bone thing goes, that ideal comes from a very old standard for picking out healthy imports. If you buy a lizard with a fat tail and no hip bone showing you are asurred of buy an animal that is not going to starve to death in a week, so the standard was fat equals health, and that just isn't true. Its like saying a man isn't healthy unless he has good size tire hanging over his belt. A far better indicator is muscle tone, color and general responsiveness.
