chinese water dragons need a pretty large enclosure with plenty of branches and a swimming area, they should have a deep dish to be able to have about a third of their body under water. high humidity in the tank and tempretures at about 86 degrees fahrenheit. they eat anything like locust, crickets and pinky mice. they have to have uva and uvb lighting to absorb calcium. they are pretty much a brilliant lizard to have as a pet, they rarely bite and with most reptiles just need someone who is willing to spend time to tame them. i hope this helps you a litle bit.
