Water Dragon Enclosures

Can anyone tell me what a good size viv is for an adult water dragon? Is a 75 or 100 gallon viv big enough?

No, tanks that small will cause the dragon to nose rub and have health problems. The minimum for one adult is about 300 gallons, 5x4x2 feet or larger. My pair have their own room, 11x7x5 feet.

ok since i'm only 16 and live with my parents, so I only have one room, is it possible for me to transorm my room into a habitat for them? Like if i added a waterfall with a small pool and added lots of vegetation and trees is it possible? And then I could feed her in a 100 gallon viv? Is this possible do you think? Any suggestions?

Hey, I'm 16 too. I don't know the size of your room, but I think it would be pretty hard to transform your room while keeping up the temperature, humidity,and amount of uvb light and still being able to live in the same room. Since my guys live in my room I had to rearrange everything to fit in their tank. Also I put their tank up on a stand my dad made out of 2 by 4s which gives me extra room under their tank to put things.

I'd say your best bet is to spend 100 or 200 dollars and build your own enclosure, I'm also 16 and I did that when I was 14, and my dragon has been living in the 360 gallon enclosure ever since. I also have a small room.
