Water dragons can reach up to 32" STL. if you are going to have a pair then I would suggest at least 4'x4'x2' the reason saying is they do love to climb and you should have a place for them for water for potty needs so that size of a enclosure would be able to hold what you need for them. They do eat crickets, pinkies, wax, meal worms and greens and vegs. A good web site is: Tricia's Water Dragons, reptile and amphibian care. It will all the info you need. www.icomm.ca/dragon/

Yes Tricias site is a truly awesome deposit of knowledge, lots of good stuff there. Now, about your questions... Water Dragons take 2 to 3 years to fully mature and live as long as 17 or 18 years at the extreme. As adults the males can be a bit over 3 feet and the females slightly smaller. For houseing your looking at something similar to a 55 Gallon aquarium at the minimum for an adult. Most people recomend something large like 6 feet long 4 or 5 feet high and 2 or 3 feet deep. Adult Water Dragons eat a wide variety of foods which include: feeder fish, Pinkies, Fuzzys, Crickets, Meal worms, Super worms, Wax worms, earth worms, and some fruits a veges (nothing with too much acid). Hope that answers any of your questions you had left. Feel free to ask more I'll answer what I can
