someone recomended one.

I would have to say no, unless you are going to get a lot of help from your parents. Setups for an adult water dragon are huge, about 5x3x4 feet, and can cost hundreds of dollars to get set up. They also eat about 3 dollars a day in food, depending on what you feed them. Also, they can be picky eaters, and I always had to hand-feed mine, which takes a lot of time, besides cleaning their water area and cage. In less you have a lot of free time and about a thousand dollars to invest, plus extra in case they need vet care, I would stick to beardies and leos for awhile.

wow, i didnt know they needed that big of a cage.

That's the problem with most care sheets and pet store advise. They just want to sell something and don't give out the "Real Detail's" on how to raise them properly. Take dsgngrl's advise and stick with an easier breed. You'll thank her and your Lizard will too.
