Re: Flying Dragons

Phew, that's not a common species, and probably expensive (or relatively expensive anyway). I don't know how great they do in captivity either, but I've heard they don't fare well. But of the species in the genus Draco, I think Draco volans is the one that's most seen in captivity, if that helps searches any.

Re: Flying Dragons

Draco's are very nice llooking animals, and Ive always toyed with the idea of them. Sadly I gave up when i knew that no many would have them and captive carewould be harder that for other animals.

Re: Flying Dragons

If I am not mistaken they require massive amounts of space, do you have the room? That's one of the things a lot of people don't think about since they aren't massive like a monitor.

Re: Flying Dragons

Prices like that generally mean one thing...wild caught.

Re: Flying Dragons

I too think that the flying dragons are very cool. I have never seen an ad that wasn't for something that sounded like wild caught.
