The Chinese Water Dragon is a large lizard native to the forests and rivers of China, Vietnam, and Thailand. They are known for their vibrant green color and distinctive crest of spines along their back. These lizards can grow up to 3 feet long, including their tail, and are often kept as pets due to their docile nature. Chinese Water Dragons are semi-aquatic, meaning they enjoy both land and water environments. They thrive in humid conditions and require a spacious habitat with climbing opportunities. Their diet mainly consists of insects, fruits, and vegetables, making them omnivorous creatures.
