I am sure Vietnam lizards will become rarer, but with large tracts of undisturbed forest and adaptation to human dwellings they will not be in dire threat.

As for your drinking theory, it doesn't hold. I have various animals from all over the world that refuse to drink from a bowl, including animals from pristine habitats. It's just the way those animals work. One thing I'll do with many agamids is dunk their heads in a shallow water bowl, and guess what, they'll drink. Heck, I'm doing it with a bunch of Dracos from Vietnam right now.

I like that you try different things to get desired results, I do the same thing with difficult animals, and I usually have success. Still, you come off a bit wrong in your posts. You say things without any real research, just simple observations, only part of the overall picture. what I like about dealing with nature, you can do it 10 different ways and get the same results.

>>Water contamination is the reason these lizards have learned to during by sapping rain from bark or leafs, imports don’t use water bowls much.

>>Also Vietnam lizards will increase in value as they unfortunately become rare, this alone is reason enough to work with them rather then established species like leopard and bearded’s.
