Chinese Water Dragons

[lovetoy]

I bought one today, much to my surprise, lol. I really should have researched first, but you know how impulse buys are. Turns out these adorable little critters need both UVB and UVA light, and require vitamin supplements, so PLEASE read up before you purchase. If they don't get the vitamins they need, they will get very sick and die. (Or so I found out when I got home with him and hit the Net) They are also omnivorous, and eat all kinds of things from crickets, alot of different kinds of worms, small fish, small mice, baby chicks, and some kinds of fruits and vegetables. My sister in law says she had one when she was a teenager and used to take it outside like on a leash to let it sun, and one day it started chasing their chihuahua! They only get like three feet tail and all, but they have SHARP little teeth, and their claws are crazy long. I am headed back to my research, but I hope this teeny little bit helps.
