cwd habitat question

hay all I am moving in about two weeks and I am planing on building a new encloser for my Chinese Water Dragon lilly to help save on space, and my plan is to build to fit into a corner here is the diagram, do you think this is big enough for the wd?


srry its so small but the two side off the corner are 2 ft long and at its widest point it is 3ft long and will be 4 ft tall

A 4'x2' enclosure is going to be too small for an adult dragon unless its also 4-5' tall.

Mike-I agree this will suffice for a while. But if you could go 3 ft from each corner it would be better.

You could also bring the corners out 3 ft and then 9 inches or so from the wall to create more floor space.

water dragons need plenty of space to turn and move and need a good pool, big enough to submerge at least half its body in. At the moment my water dragons live in a 5 ft long, 3 ft wide by 4 ft high with a tank undernith for swimming that is 5 ft long, 1 ft wide and 18 ins high, but my water dragons are only small the biggest ( BJ ) is only about 2ft . We are making them a new enclosure will be 10ft long, 8ft high and 4ft wide with a large pool for them to swim, we are hoping to move them in to there new home later on this year.
