my chinese water dragon keeps on going into the water and there are big rocks in the water. it gets in between the rocks and justs lays there. then i put it back on its sleeping platform thing (a log with a flat top) but it gets back into the water and moves around really fast like it is drowning.
the water is 2 inches deep. the dragon is about 4-5 months old. and it is 3 inches long not including the tail.
Answers:
mine is about 8 or 9 months old, and from tip to tail, he's probably somewhere between a foot and a half to two feet long.
but mine seems to hate the darn water. sometimes he'll sit on the edge of his tub, so just his tail is in there, but if we put him in, all he does is climb out as soon as possible.
i STILL have no idea what the heck temperature the water should be at. SOMEONE needs to put that to an exact degree. this whole "pee warm, lukewarm' bussiness is useless. there's huge differences between what i might think is lukewarm and what my boyfriend thinks.
anyways. as we don't have a heater, we assume that the water will become room temperature after a while anyways, but our guy won't ever get in the water. wich is bad, cause he has massive problems shedding. but yeah. how do you trian yours to actually acknoledge the "water' part of their names??
no not really
This behavior is normal. They can't breathe underwater but they enjoy soaking frequently.
both because he is a fish and i asked the petstore and yea just to make sure ask a pet expert!

ReplyDeleteYou can get inexpensive submersible water heater with an adjustable thermostat built in, you turn the dial on the top to select the required heat they can be placed in a fewinches of water as well because you can mount them horizontally submerged along the side of their pool they range from £5-£25 depending on wattage and make, I have a 35" x 18" tub around 3" deep of water and heats out up fine...its a 50watt
