how many wd's can live in my new cage its 1077 gallons?

chong188 Jul 14, 2004 01:15 AM

1)i want to get another female to take off some of the persistance on tethys from saturn. All the breeding doesn't seem to be bothering her....yet, but just in case id like to split saturn's eagerness among 2 females rather then have tethys have to take it all. so is 1077 gallons (8' x 4 1/2' x 4')(LxHxD) big enough for 2 females and 1 male?

2) okay my second question is.... if theres enough room for 1.2. where can i obtain a new maybe 1-4 year old(preferably around this age) healthy female?

Thanks for all your help....

P.S. will post pics of the new cage, just gotta throw on some paint!!!!

That cage could easily hold another female, or even two more. It can be hard to find adult dragons, your best bet may be a reptile show, that is how I got my male. He was not full grown, but big enough to be put in with my adult female at the time. You may have to get a juvi and keep her in her own cage until she is big enough. At least these guy grow pretty fast. Check rescue shelters too, people are always trying to get rid of adult reptiles that are too big for their cages. The only problem with that is they probably aren't the healthiest of specimens. However you get one, make sure it is checked by a vet and quarentined for several months before being introduced to your healthy dragons.

could i maybe check to see if michael spears(owner of sapphire dragons) has any retired/or females that he doesnt need to breed that he could sell to me. because i live in saskatoon, which is in saskatchewan, canada and there is never any reptile shows near hear unless you count maybe montreal, toronto or vancouver near..so i dont think buying one at a show is really an option for me...
