I've kept Chinese Water Dragons for 15 years now and hands down, the easiest way to keep them is in greenhouses. I get the 5ft wide, 3ft deep, and 7ft tall indoor greenhouses off Amazon for $50 and use those to house my dragons. They maintain heat and humidity perfectly with minimal maintenance while also providing plenty of vertical and horizontal space. For anyone who is interested in getting a Chinese Water Dragon I highly recommend using a green house or a grow tent. You can heavily plant them, make them bioactive, and include a large water feature with ease. Since discovering the greenhouses, that species has become one of the easiest animals for me to keep.
Merry Christmas! Thank you for your great information on your channel . As a hobby reptile keeper it’s a wonderful and valuable place for me to always keep learning and become a better keeper ! ❤
Interesting take. Army veteran myself, and since i wasnt in the air or on a ship while overseas i actually got to witness pet trade herps while there in their home ranges. It was a highlight among the stupidity of a war torn country. I was lucky to see plated lizards (or a close relative), uromastyx, a large turtle of some kind (side neck like) I helped it cross a highway, small Mediterranean house geckos, and a sand boa of some kind. I actually caught it at night and kept it in a sock so i could take pictures in the daylight. Craziest thing I saw was a large yellow snake that periscoped crossing a road at night. I thought cobra at the time. Many large camel spiders crossing the road and a few hedgehogs along with some frogs/toads during the rainy season. This was NE Iraq near the Iranian border closest town was Baquba if anyone knows the actual species there.
I absolutely love my frills. Ih had 3. Sir Nigel Archibald Thornberry is my 3rd PNGFL. Loads of fun and very rewarding in his bio set up. Thanks for the episode homie!!
Quick thought on the way your lizards freak out a little bit when they go outside. It's not only the possibility of predators from above, a lot of it has to do with the infrared light that you get from the sun and the way they view the world, you look different in natural sunlight to them.
Merry Christmas! I think the Dinosaurs from Jurassic Park that look like frilled lizards are called "compsognathus". I love how you reference pop culture as a major contributor to your love of reptiles. My favorite reptile from the Rescuers Down Under is of course "JOANNA!" Edit: My son says that those little dinosaurs are dilophosaurus, so I guess I'll have to defer to him! Lol 🙂
I have a fish suggestion, guaramis! ( tannin tolerant) I had a few blue in my small turtle pond and for some reason, they never ate the guaramis. They grow to a nice size and are very pretty fish. They’re air breathers, which I didn’t know back when I had them. I thought they were just exceptionally friendly and calm fish! And they come in many colors!

That is a great point!

Merry Christmas to you as well! Thanks for the Jurassic Park fact 😀 thanks for watching the episode! Joanna is great as well 😆
It was the dilophosaurus that was given a frill, along with rather diminutive size (though you could argue the one that killed Ned was a juvenile).
Coffee is a brewing and I'm getting ready to watch! Really excited to see this episode, you had me at frilled dragon!
edit: Merry Christmas everyone!
Enjoy the episode,John! Merry Christmas to you as well!
