The lady they are coming from has been housing them in a 6 foot tall x 3 x 3 mesh viv - is that okay do you think??

All advice and comments welcome

Thank you for your lovely comments.

From what I have established so far they are a male at approx 18-24 months and females of approx 12-18 months although I am not 100% certain on that

I do so hope that the female is gravid - I think it is the 2nd pic that would be her - the first pic is the other female shedding

More pics when they arrive.

Can I ask too - I have been reading a LOT of conflicting info on WD's and their housing requirement s- obviously, bigger is best but Trisha's water dragon pages say that she houses her 4 (used to be 5) in a 6 tall x 3 x 2.5 foot. the viv these 3 come with is 6x3x3 so would that be suitable for now or do I need to panic build something a tonne bigger

I'm no water dragon expert but I think I could safely say that if Trish kept 5 in a cage smaller than the one you are going to have 3 in you will be fine.

Trish knows her stuff when it comes to dragons!

That is cool Merlin - thank you. Over here in the UK, most breeders and keepers tend to recommend that sort of size for 1 WD!! they sort of see them as iguanas but smaller so expect you to have a huge large cage for them!!

I will post up pics when they get here then - thanks

lol Lacey - I am getting there but the only ehome of late has been the red head

I have also got a crestie due as a rehome next weekend but other than that, I have bought them all lol

I can't wait for these guys to arrive though - I just got them a new 280g flexarium which is basically what they are already in but their current one is a bit tatty so £80 later - all fixed lol

And after a head count (including the Leopard Geckos I have paid for and am waiting for the weather to allow shipping of them) I have :- 3 pictus gecko, 9 leopard geckos and 2 eggs, 3 crested geckos and 1 egg, 1 Wahlberg's velvet gecko, 1 bearded dragon, 1 red head agama and 3 GALS - total then - 17 lizards, 3 eggs and 3 snails lmao
