what is their care? I have read on Bert Langwerf's page that they are super hardy but how is their temperment? They seem like awesome animals but I just don't know much about them.
Mushman- This guy is still young..he is flighty but not bad. They are VERY hardy. theres acouple of good care sheets about them.

definatly male then, sorry, i'm looking for females to keep spyro company.
but everyone, aussie waterdragons are awesome!! they are pure insectavores but love fish and small mice. super hardy, normal humidity is fine, regular 100 degree sunning spot, they are sun worshippers though, Spyro recommends a 100 watt mercury vapor from reptileuv.com and cypress for substrate, they enjoy a good misting when you can remember to do it. they handle cold spells like champs. Also, they LOVE LOVE LOVE water, we're talking like 30% of their day is spent splashing around. and 90% of em only crap in their water so the important part is making sure their water is changed every single day. sometimes i change spyro's water twice a day.
and they are the most amazing acrobats, i seen spyro jump from one shelf and corkscrew, while passing underneath a higher shelf belly up! then grab the far side of the shelf with his front claws and pull himself up. i wouldn't have believed it if i hadn't seen it.
