chinese water dragons

[cherokee]

Anyone got one? or something like ..

I have recently adopted my sons chinese water dragon hes a cute little thing although i didnt think so at first .but since he come to live with us i ve found my self getting quite attached to him...
I am now brave enough to hold him / pick him up and put him on my shoulder where hes quite happy to sit . and even brave enough to feed him his wriggly huge worms ..havent managed to feed him the locust yet i leave that to my other son but im getting there

so if there are any reptile lovers out there and want to share hints tips and advice it would be most welcome ..its says on the net he is supposed to like certain veg but i cant get him to eat anything but worms and yukki locust ... all ideas welcome .thanks in advance:hidewall:

Hi. I have two and mine have never touched veg either. All i can get mine to eat is meal worms and brown crickets. They wont even touch locust or black crickets.

What do they look like? Can either of you take some photos of them for us?

ive always liked to have a reptile but because ive got a few cats i didnt think it would be safe as i would like the reptile to be able to walk about the house

probably not a good idea to have both, I met a huge Iggy at a reptile show at a country park, they let me hold him and he climbed up on my shoulder, I had claw marks where he had to grip to stay there, but I didn't care he was gorgeous. And they a veggie so I could feed one OK.
