Thank you, but most of the credit goes to my coworker John who raised her for 10 years before she became part of the museum's collection. Five feet is a great height as water dragons are arboreal and spend most of their times climbing, but you may want to bump up your other cage dimensions a smidge. Female water dragons get about 24 inches and males can exceed three feet. They are also super althletic—Gandy could leap more than her total body length from a standing start—so they need room to run around. Water dragons have the habit of bashing into the sides of tanks and banging their snouts all to hell if they don't have sufficient room.
