My CWD..

Hello everyone I'm new here. I have one water dragon it a baby. I named it Oeacn because I can't tell if it a male or female.

Oeacn is in a 20 long tank. I wanted to know where do I buy a Humidity Control for my tank? What I have for oeacn set up in the tank is. Oeacn have day light and a light for the bone. And a Repti Therm Under Tank Heaters, Zilla Reptile Terrarium Liner, Fake plants, and One fake tree and Big bowl of water. I want to put Humidity Control but I don't know what one to get. Can you help me? I was thinking put live plants and dirt in it later. But I need to know what ok to put in it that will be ok for Oeacn . I been feeding oeacn wax worms and crickets.

EDIT: I have Ocean for like 3-5 month now.

Re: My CWD..

A 20 gallon tank is not near big enough for your water dragon. It will be hard to maintain temps and humidity needed for him. WD's are arboreal and need more height to climb. Here is the caresheet.

Re: My CWD..

If you could post a photo of your tank, that would help us too. I agree, a 20 gallon is far too small for even a baby. You will need to upgrade and upgrade soon.

Agreed - you need to upgrade.

And yes, a photo would help us help you with your husbandry.

Keep in mind that waxworms are only an occasional food and should not be fed as a staple.

Live plants and soil would help with humidity, along with covering the top of the tank if you are using a screen top.
