I have just had a Chinese water dragon die and i was wondering if the lighting had something to do with it. I have a enclosure that has to have two lights to light it up.It kinda has two separate parts one for the day and one for the night. One part has the day light and the other has the night light and they are both on all the time. My question is: is this a bad thing or should i get to more lights and have two day lights on during the day and than at night have the two night lights on?

Yes it was very likely the lighting. You need to do research on UVB lighting, and day night lighting and propper temperature control or this will be a real problem with most lizard specites.

Yes it was most likely the lighting. First you need to get a florescent light for your dragon. Second you need a day/night cycle for your animal. Lizards associate light with day and if its light all the time it messes up the dragons system. This leads to a decline in the dragons health which would leave it weakened and venerable to disease and aliment.
