Default exo terra tanks

hi.
i need help. i have a exo terra tank 60x45x60 but is it suitable for lizzards.
i had 2 water dragons but when i bought this tank and put them in it things went wrong. i spent over 200 pounds on it and the light unit for it
the lizzards went down hill after about 1 week an ended up dead.
i think it was a heat problem in tank. anyone tell me how to overcome this problem.

hmm that's rather vague. Do you know what the temperature was? What was the substrate(sand, soil, wood chips etc) they were on, what were you feeding them, how big/old were the waterdragons etc? Basically all the information about how you were keeping them.

Also if you post in the lizard section near the top of the forum you might get more replies,

well I'll be honest I don't keep water dragons so I don't know what can become wrong with them.

Like I said though post this same question you have on the "lizards" sub-forum. It's near the top of the website under "snakes". you'll get way more replies from people which will know.

Put water dragons somewhere in the title too because then people that keep them will know to look. something like this:

"Water dragons died, what was wrong?"

then talk about how they were in an exo terra, what the temperature was, what was in the exo terra, everything you can think of the more information the better. Like how they behaved different, how long you had them before you put them in the exo terra and how they were kept before and any changes. Like everything you can think of that could help people figure out what went wrong.

I JUST SAW YOU POSTED IN THE LIZARD SECTION. I've posted in your thread encouraging people to help, hope you get some good answers.
