So you have water dragons and not iguanas. That helps. I'll ask the people I know.

From what I hear Aussi & Chinese can be. You can use the banner above to get to Graceful Dragons. They may be able to help or direct you where to find the information. Please let us know how things go.

As with most reptiles you should not house them together since most have different needs and you should always quarentine new herps to begin with anyway and then with clean bills of health if you are going to introduce them to each other it should always be done in a neutral area to reduce stress.

I like to ask a question. What UVB bulbs are you using for your water dragons?

I only use a ordinary florescent lamp as a light for him in at night, would that be enough?

Night time should be dark. But you need a UVB bulb in the daytime. Either special UVB fluorescent bulbs or mercury vapor UVB bulb. UVB bulbs help in the absorption of calcium. Helps prevent MBD.
