Nice set up. My dog is named ivy❤️. I have a hatchling Cwd named Elvis who is growing faster that I’d like haha. Been watching different set ups for his next palace.

A prettty enclosure for a very pretty Water Dragon. Love the Vid. Thanks a bunch. Really helped me Relax a little after work. PS: RIP Jax.

I'm glad you liked it🤗 thank you! 💕

[@jrborges]

Ivy is gorgeous, as is her enclosure! Can’t wait to see the new enclosure build! I know it will be spectacular!

[@m.j.exotics]

Thank you so much! I can't wait to build it! It should be here in about 2 weeks. We have lots of ideas 🤗

[@johnlinnell2774]

How can I get a set up like this ?

[@m.j.exotics]

It's custum build!🤗

[@metallibasscovers]

At first I wanted one until I learned I need a water source, water filters and this and that, I will stick with a beardie till I’m ready.

[@m.j.exotics]

Haha it's a lot, I get that! Beardies are cute too!💙💙💙

[@TheRICKY85]

I wouldn't enjoy cleaning just one enclosure, at all. How many do you have altogether?

[@m.j.exotics]

5, and 2 temporary baby fish tanks. For Ivy's enclosure we mostly just clean the water, because she poops in there! Haha

[@IndigoStars]

What a lovely lady 💕She's so gentle when you're hand feeding her! Very nice & relaxing video~~ Looking forward to see Ivy's new digs :D

[@m.j.exotics]

Thanks sis❤❤❤❤

[@jeffdusseault1382]

I totally copied u. I got my dragon at 8 inches. I took a 180 tank and put a 3x3 x6 on top for the dragon and filled it with frontosa when I saw how You fish looked. The male is 18 inches now and loving his enclosure. I just got a 18 inch female and they are starting to get along

[@jeffdusseault1382]

Ohh and I put a 3 foot waterfall feature in and they are loving that to

[@m.j.exotics]

Well done! I'm sure your dragons will absolutely love it 🤗🤗

[@dustinhowell5791]

Where can I get a set up like that with the fish tank??

[@m.j.exotics]

Let it be custum build!!

[@archiegrant2063]

This video was amazing. Are you going to breed her in the future? Or has she already had eggs.

[@m.j.exotics]

I'm not planning on breeding her, she had surgery 2 years ago where her overies were removed although she grew half of them back. But she's old and I'm going to let her be haha

[@archiegrant2063]

@@m.j.exotics okay. That’s good.

[@germangirl200]

Can you please tell me what kind of fish

[@m.j.exotics]

Frontosa cichlids!🖤

[@noordcop1]

Ivy is looking good, and seems to be happy in her enclosure...... Sure she will be thrilled when she's been given a even more bigger one.... By the way...... find some music that's not out of tune........... hahaha.........

noice, love the water dragon!

[@m.j.exotics]

Thank you! 🤗

[@emorrow6441]

Can I ask how you made the floor space in the back? I just bought an exo terra X-tall large and I want to do water like you have it but also give the dragon some floor space. Not sure how to go about that.

[@m.j.exotics]

Of course, we took a big piece of styro foam, that fits right in the 'gap' in the back, couple of layers of tile adhesive to make it strong and hard, let it dry in between (hairdryer also works) after that 2 layers of epoxy to make it last and to make it waterproof. When the piece was finished we put 4 plastic squares in each corner of the crawl space and thats where it'll rest on!

[@m.j.exotics]

@emorrow I do have to say this terrarium is custom made and it has a glass piece between the water and the crawl space, you do need that and exo terra terrariums don't so you would have to make that yourself and kit it I think

[@emorrow6441]

@@m.j.exotics you're absolutely correct. I was considering cutting some acyrlic and going that route. Decided against it for now. Thank you for the help!

[@m.j.exotics]

@emorrow Yeah that would work! Have fun with it and I'm sure you'll find a solution! 🤗

Leuke video! Welke bak heb je daar? ik ben ook op zoek naar een paludarium :) En wat geef je de chinese wateragaam te eten als die op je hand zit? :)

What’s the hard food that she was eating?

Special carnivorous reptile food, we mostly feed it to our turtle but she loves it too. You can also give them cat food!🤗

Incredible enclosure! I’m thinking of one day making an enclosure like this, how do you keep it so clean / is it hard?? Your dragons are lucky to have you!

@@jackmason7695 Haha it's been a long time since she had crickets, we don't feed them to her actually. The ocasional locust, but mostly dubias and earth worms🤗 they escape rarely and if they do, my cat hunts them down haha😂

@@m.j.exotics aww haha that’s a great diet for her then! 😄 I don’t have any dragons I would love one though, do you still have to control the humidity levels with anything else even though there’s the tank of water for her?? Sorry for the questions I’m very interested in getting one haha

[@m.j.exotics]

@@jackmason7695 I don't mind questions! The humidity naturally in this enclosure is usually between 60-70% because of the build in aquarium so we use a humidifier for it to be a little higher (75-80%)
