Although many associate the Chinese Water Dragon with only China, Water Dragons are actually a breed of lizard originating from many different parts of Asia including Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Laos.

They are a bright green lizard with a long pointy tail. Like the Uromastyx[1], this long tail is used as a weapon against predators and for balance when running, climbing, or swimming.

Most captive Chinese Water Dragons have been wild-caught, which means they will not be as docile as most pet lizards.

However, they are inexpensive (around $50) and can still make excellent pets for experienced hobbyists.
