Reptariums and Water Dragons?

[xbranx]

I've been doing some research on different caging options for WDs lately. When I move, I plan on giving Felix and Roxie a little more room to play in. I keep seeing these mesh reptariums. Like so!

At first I thought.. No. What about humidity? Where would the lights go? But apparently they can be equipped with a lining that keeps humidity in. Would something like that be all right for a dragon? Is it an appropriate indoor cage? .. Would it smell funny?

Anybody use these? XD

.. Also, this kind of amused me in the description:

"100% ventilation for air breathing reptiles"

Hehe.

Those are better for your chameleons. Water dragons need higher heat, and humidity. I won't say you can't do it, but it would be pretty difficult to maintain the proper heat and humidity

I use one for my california kingsnake and another for my leopard gecko, since they don't require high humidity, and they've worked great and done great in them.

I still use heat tape under them also and it works just fine.. also the mesh is machine washable.

But yeah like VooDoo said, unless you have a real humid room it's difficult to keep humidity in... it's not impossible but I think there's ways you can get humidity to stick around in there. Good luck.

I tried it and it's a bad idea--trust me here. Unless your talking aussie dragon.
