My male and female CWD have been together over approximately two years now - I bought them as a pair and they have been sexually active already as far as I'm aware as eggs have been laid. However, I am concerned that the male is behaving in a very aggressive manner towards the female and she is going to get hurt trying to escape him. Is this usual behaviour? Their enclosure is very large.

I do have another water dragon whoI rescued last year from someone who kept him in a fish tank with no UVB. As a result he is very small for his age but fully on the road to recovery. Would it be alright to put my female in with him for a while? Or would she hurt him as she is twice his size? This enclosure is small.

Males will show an aggressive behavior while trying to mate, sometimes ripping the crest completely off the female.. unless your breeding on purpose maybe try seperating the male completely, and try housing the other one with her.. have you had fecals done on all 3? I wouldnt put the female in with the smaller male if its a small enclosure.. you may have to have another enclosure all together if he keeps displaying such aggressive behavior.
