    • @m.j.exotics
      @m.j.exotics  3 роки тому +1

      Then I don't recommend getting a water dragon. In the wild they live on branches above the water. When they feel somewhat unsafe, or wanna hide real quick, they jump in the water. Also when they're shedding, and pooping they're in the water. They're called water dragons for a reason. Not doing water changes can make your dragon really sick. So if you don't want to do that, don't get a water dragon.

She can acces the water easily, the bottom level is at the water level. We also added a lot of aquarium deco where she can lean on. Yes plastic plants, water dragons destroy real plants so there is no point in getting real ones. I'm talking from experience since this happy, healthy baby girl is 8 years old and we've tried live plants before. Maybe ask questions next time before making assumptions! I appreciate the concern.
