Man, that will be a big home. Hope you have the room and do you realize how many dragons you could house. Our is 6’2"H 3’2"L 3’2"W and that can house 7 full grown dragons.

I heard, not overly sure, but it sounds kinda right, that most of the studs, i.e. 2x4’s you’re going to find are resinous. Pretty much Spruce and that’s not good for WDs. However if you were to coat it with poly it should be fine right? If not I’d say get some aspen or poplar boards and cut them into the right size for a frame.

OK meant to say that I didn’t think spruce was good for WDs. Can’t rightly say what is and isn’t good for them without having one first, huh?

I just built a new viv for my waterdragon...(and frog)..it’s 4 feet long, three feet wide and two feet deep....how many waterdragons could I house in there...I wanted to get two babies...male and female and attempt to breed them...also, do you think that if I put babies in with Mitchie who is a year....do you think he’ll hurt them?
