I recently imported a Chinese Water Dragon from David Breen (WWPS) and i can tell you that that girl is even more sweet and docile than my beardies!

I have several lizards. They are my personal pets.I have 1 iguana, 2 monkey tails, 2 uros, 2 beardies and 2 leo geckos.Thats the first time i raise a WD. I can swear that that girl is more tame than any of my pets evem more tame than my Mali uros.

She is still young, around one feet. Probably not one year old yet.I dont know if that is the reason why she is so calm. I can handle her and kiss her her snout as much as i want she doesnt even move. Apparently she likes to be handled because she is not afraid of me at all.

She is soo calm i thought she may be sick but no, she runs like crazy when she sees a wood lice or a yummy mealworm.

My question is: Are all Chinese Water Dragon tame like that or im just lucky?

i think it's a little bit of both. i've had three water dragons and i was super mellow (like yours), the other was a little bit more wild, but still mellow, and the other one is kind of wild. they all seem to be very different. just continue to work with her and if she isn't CB i would get a fecal sample done cause WC ones always have tons of parasites.
