I am new to keeping water dragons. I have had iggies before but it has been awhile. Do water dragons require UV light? How hard are they to tame? My hubby is not super pet friendly but I would like a tame lizard so if he ever does want to pet it he won't get bit and it won't get slung across the room as a consequence. What is the best site to go to for info on water dragons and their upkeep? Help!!!!!

Yes water dragons are tame they are one of the most friendly reptiles you could get.

Yes they also do need a uv light.

if you can afford i'd use a powersun with them, this is a combined heat source and uv light

Thanks for the help. I have heard about ceramic heaters. What are they and are they better then UVA/UVB bulbs? I want to get everything together before I bring TUO home (That is what i have decided to call my new baby) But I don't want to risk burning it. So which would be better? Creamic or UVA/UVB? :?:

ceramic emit just heat no light. you'll need uva light no matter what.

Thanks! I was wondering how to give heat at night without light! That solves that problem!

with your ceramic make sure you have it on a thermostat to regulate the temperature. as well as that you'll need either a basking bulb and uv tube or a just a powersun
