Thank you!!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you Zoe!! I’m super excited to finish the new paludarium!!

Thank you for commenting! Glad you enjoy it!!

Thank you, glad you found it useful!! I highly recommend them aswell! If you have any more questions on them feel free to DM me!

Thank you Kayla! They are an incredible species I hope more people start to work with them. And thank you I think you’re pretty cool too 💁🏻‍♂️😉

Thank you!! And I highly recommend them!

Thank you!!!

Thank you! Have to spoil the babies 😉 and yes they can be real goofballs 😂

Thank you very much for subscribing! More videos coming!!

@@daffysreptiles nice!!! There are Two Acanthosaura Capra arriving home tomorrow, I’ll take some vídeos too, very interesting Animals ☺️

@@TortugasEnGalicia That’s awesome! You’re going to love keeping them they are an awesome species. Definitely take some videos!!

Definitely a big size and temperament difference between the dragons and monitors lol!! Are you able to link me some of those videos? I’d love to see some dragons in the wild!!

@@daffysreptiles Sure thing. The channel name is “Ruperts Reptiles.” He’s a young-ish British dude who goes herping -usually at night through the jungles of SE Asia, Borneo (that part of the world.) He shows several species of adult dragons in various videos - the adult males are especially magnificent looking, there’s at least one in this video; kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n82YndpyqpmRj4E.html He’s primarily interested in snakes but shows all sorts of exotic herps; frogs, turtles, lizards, newts, etc. and occasionally other native animals (birds & mammals) that cross their paths. If i see any other especially interesting vids with dragons I’ll forward you the link(s). Night herping in tropical rainforests is amazing!

Thank you for watching and thank you for the advice!! Definitely still working on my videography/editing game so the advice helps a lot. I’ll play around with it and try to drop the white balance on the next video!

Hey Tyler! That’s a video I’d definitely love to make I’m just taking my time with it because information on these guys can be hard to find!

Glad you found the video useful thanks for watching! iD recommend a minimum of 18x18x36 for one but if you give them more space you will see some fascinating behaviours! These three are babies that i am raising up and have already started separating them into larger enclosures!

So I found the right size but it is a screen enclosure and it's hard to keep humidity(as you know) are there any ways to keep the humidity up to the required level?

Congrats!! They’re an incredible species you’re going to enjoy keeping them!

Hey! Best advice I can give you is to be persistent. Cut off food for 2-3 days and try if she doesn’t eat wait another day and try again. If it doesn’t work feed regularly for a week or so and then try again. It may take a couple of tries but she will eventually learn that tongs means food!

@@daffysreptiles Thanks so much, I'll let you know how it goes :)

Please do!!

Thanks!

Hello! It seems your mountain horned dragons maybe a little picky if they don’t take crickets or roaches unless you shove it in their face. A lot of my dragons love crickets and roaches and will actively jump down from the top of their vivariums to chase crickets! They definitely love their worms however that’s definitely not all they eat in the wild, in the wild they eat slugs, spiders, grubs, beetles and anything else that crosses their path! As for fish I haven’t had any luck with mine eating any but I have now seen them attempt to hunt fish multiple times! And mountain horned dragons definitely do swim! Mine spend quite abit of their time in the water in their paludarium and people that have seen them in the wild have told me they’ve found them sitting in streams!

@@daffysreptilesWell said!

No, unfortunately the horns don’t grow back to my knowledge!

If by humidity is not a problem you mean that you will easily be able to keep humidity up then absolutely an XL reptibreeze would make a great enclosure for an adult or even a pair!

I do! I assume small enough crabs are probably part of their natural diet!

Most reptile stores will have some form of water fountain! Exo Terra makes the Tiki waterfalls that are pretty good. Otherwise you could definitely find one on Amazon!

Bigger is always better! With that being said I think the bare minimum for one is a 18x18x36! I don’t have any babies available yet but I’m hoping too in 2024!

Good choice looking into Mountain Horned Dragons hahaha! I think the reason most people avoid keeping juvenile reptiles in larger enclosures is because it harder for them to find their food. That being said if you can get your Mountain Horned Dragon eating off tongs then you might be okay! Might still be easier for you to start with something smaller first then upgrade later on! You could maybe sell the grow out tank when the dragons out grown it? Good luck with your research and let me know if you have any other questions!

@daffysreptiles alright thanks will do. What size do u recommend for babies if I go that route?And to be honest I already know bout tong feeding I do it with my lemon(leopard geko female fiesty girl when she eats from doesn't let go of the tongs lol) So I might try that but your right i could sell it and learn how to sell to get some of that money back when , the time comes if I get babies. But I have a long wait. Cause I want to make sure to do this right the first time. I do wonder what travel size tub do u suggest I need to look into evacuation stuff for mountain horned dragons. I live around the gulf of Mexico so hurricanes are a threat to us.

I just introduced my pair to each other for the first time last week. So far everything’s going smoothly!! I believe they are generally pretty good for cohabbing but keep an eye on them and make sure the male doesn’t annoy the female too often!!

Poop can get lost in the substrate might be good to move it to paper towels for 24-48 hours and make sure it’s actually not pooping. If so I would definitely recommend taking it to a vet!

I’ve never kept Chinese water dragons so I can’t say for sure but it seems Mountain horned dragons are less prone to mouth rub and mouth rot!

Yes they seem to be fairly good swimmers!

@@daffysreptiles 😁

Acanthosaura capra!

Thank you! ​@@daffysreptiles Can babies stay in the same enclosure as adults?

@@KC2Sunshine I wouldn’t recommend that! The babies are definitely small enough to be eaten by the adults

@@daffysreptiles oh I tend to incubate in the same enclosure to get similar conditions (figure what's best for them), but I keep them in a separate container. I'll be sure remove when hatched :)

They’re definitely a lot harder to come by these days! The wild caught ones don’t do great and not many people breeding them in captivity because of their low price point unfortunately. I think they’re incredible animals that should be shown more love! Happy to hear that your pair are doing well! Feel free to reach out with any questions you have whenever!!

@@daffysreptiles awesome thanks will do 🙏🙏🙏

Are you based in Canada? DM me on IG @Daffysreptiles
