New to Reptiles, Want to Learn From You All

Hello Everyone,
My son and I have always had lots of less scaley pets but that all changed when we got our Chinese Water Dragon, Curly. My son had wanted a reptile for a long time but I had to grow into the idea. Now I am as crazy about them as he is. Curly did pass away a few weeks ago and we miss him very much. I have visited many sites hoping to learn as much as I can so what may have caused Curly to die will not happpen again.
We now have only 2 Painted Agamas named Moe and Larry and a Millipede named Dukie. We are currently having a 4x4x2 terrarium built to house our new Australian Water Dragon that we will be getting soon. We hope to hear from many of you about your thoughts and ideas on ways to keep our dragons healthy and ways that you have set up your terrariums that worked the best for you. We are also thinking about maybe breeding the Aussie's due to a lack of Australian WD in this area. That will be a whole new chapter that we will have to learn about. Thanks and have a great day.

Hello,
Welcome to HC. The caresheet you were pointed to was written by Tricia Power. Her personal site is one of the best on the net for the care associated with Water Dragons.

At the bottom of the caresheet is a link to her site if you want to check it out. She has all of the bases covered.
