Cage Big Enough?

Gekkotail Apr 09, 2005 12:02 AM

Is my cage big enough to permanently house a pair of water dragons?

6 ft long x 2 ft deep x 2 ft tall

I am planning on getting a pair tomorrow

Nope, not big enough. Water dragons are aboreal, they need height to feel secure. Your cage should be at least 4-6 feet tall. The length is ok.

I would say probably wider too...2feet wide isn't much, especially when including their tail the CWD will be bigger than that. Ideallly they should have a tank wide enough for them to rotate comfortably.
