    12x12x18 is just a bit over an 11gallon tank.... Which some people say is good for one crestie... But personally I have all of my reptiles in at least a 20gal tank. So its up to you :)

    A 18x18x18 is about a 20G and a 18x18x24 would be a little more than that :)

    If thats your water dragon in the picture it looks like its a male but it's still too young to tell. As it gets older (if it is a male) the crest on his neck will continue to grow and he will have larger spikes. this wont happen if it is a female. Males will also have a much larger head than a female would.

    Ellanah--Yep, they get around 3 feet long, although some males have gotten up to 4 feet. I believe they live around 12-20 years or so if taken care of properly. Your baby is very cute! =D (Too young to tell on gender still.)
