Expertise
I can answer questions pertaining to health, UVB specifics, overall husbandry care & supplementation, analysis of blood test results, and behavioral problems & handling. I can answer questions pertaining to bearded dragons, leopard geckos, iguanas, uromastyx & ball pythons. I can answer adeno virus related questions in bearded dragons, & then specifically about the testing methods as well. I am beginning an Pogona Adeno Testing Society in 2008 which will help to begin to start some standardization within the bearded dragon colonies of the breeders who choose to test.

Reptiles - What do chinese water dragons play with

Expert: Tracie Kretzschmar - 11/3/2009

Question
I would like to know what Chinese water dragons play with because I would like to become more involved with them and do something they like.

Answer
Hello Alexander,

That is a good question. They really don't have any preferences for toys, etc, but they love to flit around in their water.
Now don't laugh, but, you could play with them in the tub a little bit, they are quite interactive. Do you let them out on the floor to run around as well? How many do you have?

They are not like dogs though, & like little chew toys or anything like that. I know that they are somewhat fond of pinkie mice so you can feed them to them on occasion too.

How old are the Chinese water dragons that you have, & what sex are they?
