    Like i said in the earlier chat, It takes Water dragons almost 2 weeks to adjust to their new home. All juveniles are brownish to olive green. Make sure that the humidity is in the eighty's and the temp is in the ninty's. Hope i helped =D

    He looks fine in the picture. If you can tell us about his setup and diet we can help make sure he stays that way. Is he already in his custom built enclosure or is it something you're working on? Either way, I'd love to see pictures. There aren't enough good pictures out there of "oversized" lizard habitats. Looking forward to see the little guy grow! =)
