I have an adult Australian Water Dragon that I came across about 2 years ago (and have yet to see another in a pet store) who has been healthy and active. We moved him from CT to NC, then to his new home about 6 months later. He has a 3'10" by 3'2" by 2' high enclosure, heat rock, UVA/UVB light, basking lamp, Climbing sticks, and a good size Water Pan to soak in. He has in the past 2 weeks been shedding and still is, but his eating has significantly decrease. I was feeding him 1-2 pinkies a day, along with the occassional dish of super worms. I don't feed a lot of fruits or greens and was wondering if I may be inadvertantly not feeding him some necssary nutrient? Do they eat less frequently as they age? Or do they go through hibernation periods? If anyone has any further information, or reading suggestions, that would be appreciated

It sounds like you are doing everything right, but I found some helpful sites for you to look at just to be sure.

It also sounds like maybe you need to turn the heat off at night...
