My Dragons

These are my Green water dragon and his new viv mates, a pair of horned mountain dragons.
The viv is 6x4x4.
The water dragon is 18mths old and the mountain dragons are 7mths old.
They all get on very well with eachother.
The mountain dragons sometimes ride on the back of the water dragon.
All eating well and are in good health.

Trying to keep warm end at85f/29.5c. Cool end at 78f/26c.And humidty at 80%.

Great looking dragons, you may want to raise your temps slightly to 90-95. :)

jo x · 3rd July 2009, 11:28 AM

would be hard to raise temps as both dragons require different temps the horned being housed at 70 -80f and the water dragon as Wayne stated 89 - 95f, they should idealy be housed seperatly in order to fullfil both requirements.Have the horned dragons been sex as they become very Territorial if it should turn out you have two males.

i agree with jo in part it would be hard as they do require different temps but the water dragon (psysignathus cocincinus) would do better at 84-88f during the day dropping to around 70f at night, adult dragons need a good size viv 6x4x2 and i would only keep mine in male female pairs as these also can be very territorial a humidity of around 60-80% is ok cant help you on the horned as i dont keep this species nor do i mix species

MHDs are tree dwellers and will want to find high places to perch,they generaly needs daytime temps in low 70's to low 80's F I would not allow it to drop below 70f The humidity should be 70-80%. , Enclosure should be a minimum of 4 feet high, 3 feet long, and 1.5 feet deep If keeping more than one MHD this should mde larger to allow each to establish there own territory. Water and humidity are important also, as MHDs will dehydrate easily if proper moisture is not provided,they require large area of moving water where they can drink and swim. They will not pay attention to water unless it is moving, you should use a pump/filter combination, a waterfall, or at the very least an air stone to keep the water moving.

Nice dragons mate, but i totally agree with Jo its best not mix species due to differing requirments.
Cheers Jaymz.
