Lizard Pet Water - Reptile Supplies


I am thinking of getting a pet lizard which kind is better a water dragon or bearded dragon?

Oct 03, 2008 by rih664 | Posted in Reptiles

what kind do you think will make a better pet and is the water dragon harder to feed?
I already have a 15 year old red ear slider turtle, a dog, and some fish. i have also had 2 hamsters and 2 hermit crabs.

If it is your first reptile then i'd go with the bearded dragon as they are great fun and relatively easy to look after.... a water dragon would be a little harder to look after if you are inexperienced =D

heres a few links for you too (care sheets)

Hope they help you make your decision =D

True or False

Interviewing and hiring is my preferred occupation, next to having a root-canal done. After two years of well-made-tuning my interview I thought I could tell a good let out from a bad one.

The wake-up call was the angry customer at the counter. His water dragon was clearly dehydrated; the reason was the black sand one of our staff had sold him as substrate.

Fortunately, a animated soak in warm water revived the lizard, and we sent the customer off with a set free bag of bark chips. Then we asked our employee why he'd told the character to use black sand for a rainforest lizard.

“I thought it was fine,” he said with a shrug.

A new rate is never alone in our store, and can always consult either a senior staff member or our considerable in-store reference library. In addition we have care sheets for most of the animals we barter, which answer basic questions. By refusing to acknowledge his unconsciousness and ask for help, our employee had just cost us money and perchance goodwill. How could I possibly test for that in an interview? In a flash of spur, I invented the BS Detector.

The Most Terrifying Reptile In History! | Save The Reptiles

by CandyWWGM ~ SaveTheReptiles.com

Who is this monstrous beast that ruled the oceans millions of years ago? Allow me to introduce you to the Mosasaur – the most terrifying reptile in history.

Mosasaurs didn’t start off all that impressively. In fact, they were initially 3 foot lizards. These little guys scampered around the land, eating whatever they could find. But the story doesn’t end there. On one fateful day, proto-Mosasaur decided to take a dip in the water. And with that, it began an evolutionary journey unlike any other.

You know nature – she likes to show off sometimes. Over the course of 6 million years, piddly little Mosasaur lizard became 10, then 30…then fifty feet long. Its body streamlined, its feet became webbed paddles and it became a menace in the water.

Mosasaurs were quite possibly the best equipped killers to ever walk our planet. They made Jaws look like a Chia Pet.

Why? It’s all about efficiency.

Ears: Although Mosasaurs needed air to live, they spent most of their time underwater. Sound travels much faster underwater than on land. To further exploit this, Mosasaurs had an internal amplification system that made everything sound 38 times louder. All the better to hear you with, my dear.

Balance: If you’ve ever had a wonky ear infection, you also know that your inner ear controls your balance. In lizards, the inner ear is also important for keeping one upright. But in the water, Mosasaur moved in 3 dimensions. Having a well tuned inner ear is a disadvantage. Early Mosasaurs were probably seasick. However, over time they lost their sensitive inner ear. This made them capable of spinning and winding though the water in ways that would make even Flipper jealous. Although they were incredibly long and large creatures, Mosasaurs were quick, agile and downright graceful in the water.
