Answer by ReptiMan
Feed it 3 crickets a day. In the wild they eat until they get full & then don’t eat for a week or so. In captivity the best way to feed them is 3 crickets a day like I said. If it is not eating just give it time. I would suggest dropping the crickets in the cage and if it doesn’t eat them within an hour just take them out. If it continues to refuse to feel free to email me at reptilesforlife@mail.com

Question by rphil04: What is the significance of the Dragon and Phoenix in Chinese mythology?

I have these Chinese meditation balls, and I asked a friend what the significance of the Dragon and Phoenix were, each are on a separate ball. My friend told me, the Dragon and Phoenix fight each other in the air. Much as is depicted when I use the balls. She told me they represent Yin and Yang, is this true? Or is there a much deeper story to be told?

Best answer:

Answer by Keltasia
I can’t remember the exact story but my husband is Vietnamese and told it once a few months ago. The phoenix represents female energy and the dragon represents male energy. In some Asian cultures they use a dragon and a phoenix candle to light a unity-type candle to show the merging of the two in marriage ceremonies.

Question by Matt OF O’Reilly: How long does it take for a chinese water dragon tail to grow back?

I bought a water dragon and he seems pretty healthy, but his tail was missing when I got him. How long does it usually take to grow back?

Best answer:

Answer by Bonsylar
Months, if not years.
Depends on the environment and diet. Do lots of research on the little guys and follow all the requirements.

In the future, pass on reptiles missing tails, toes, scales, or anything else. It means they were roughly treated and stressed out. Not healthy.

Chinese Astrology Predictions 2008: the Dragon

A new 12-year cycle started at Feb 7, 2008 with the Year of the Rat according to the Chinese calendar. This important cycle (or era) ends at Feb 5, 2019. It is a 12-year period generally ruled by the universal element of Earth. There are also other elements which rule over each of the 12 years. For example Earth rules over the first and the second year of the cycle (2008, 2009) while Metal rules over the third and the fourth year of the cycle (2010, 2011). The year 2008 is also ruled by the sign of the Rat and has a Yang (male) nature. So 2008 is the Yang year of the Earth Rat. What are the predictions for the sign of the Dragon for 2008? This is what this article is all about.

Dragon people in the new era will wait as usual for their favorable year to come before they reveal their plans. It’s not until the year 2012, that they will start spreading their dominating energy for all the world to see. 2012 is a year associated with many prophecies about the end of the world as we know it. It is a year when the Dragon will rise and start ruling. Until then, Dragons must make their plans and visualize their goals.

2008, the year of the Rat makes Dragon people extra eccentric and very sociable. It is a good year for all kinds of social meetings, festivals, feasts, parties etc. They will never go unnoticed in such occasions. It is also a great year to increase the number of their admirers and friends. Dragon people, although powerful leaders themselves, they rely on others to achieve their higher goals.

The element of Earth which rules over 2008, makes Dragon people a bit more manipulative, and arrogant. This is a behavior they must try to avoid though. They should approach everything and everyone with a more diplomatic and supportive way. Their unique attitude and self confidence will help them achieve that. The Earth’s effect will do more. Dragon people during 2008 will be selfish, suspicious and demanding causing frustration to others. They should work on these difficult issues.

The Yang (male) nature of 2008 will increase the Dragon’s sense of duty. It will also make it easy for others to take advantage of the Dragon’s loyalty and dignity. This is something people under this sign should pay attention to.

Here are my predictions using the five star system. This has to do with the overall positive energy that the Dragon will receive during 2008. One star (*) means less energy than expected, while five stars (*****) mean more energy than expected. Three stars (***) mean equal amount of positive and negative energy which is a balanced situation:

Dragon Tattoos: the Great Symbol of Chinese Culture

Dragon tattoos are one of the popular tattoo designs. The dragon tattoo is regarded as a classic tattoo which is popular among men and women. They are quite popular tattoo designs as they exhibit the influence of Japanese and Chinese culture on western tattooing culture for nearly two centuries. The dragon represents four elements which include Earth, Fire, Wind and Water and also the four points of the compass which is East, West, North and South.

Dragons have been also termed as a symbol of Earth, Water, Underworld and Sky. It is regarded as neither culturally far ranging character whose bad temper is interpreted as neither good nor evil. Even the forces of nature are not regarded as human hearted since they represent the cycle of life and death which is followed by birth and renewal. It is said that natures nurtures and nature destroys and so does the dragon.

One of the common images of dragon resembles some sort of reptilian creature with lizard like features which dominates the image. The dragon tattoo images features the forked tongue which is common to reptilian creatures. They are regarded as a symbol of mischief, wisdom, good, evil, adventure and strength. The type of images that are chosen depends upon the personal choice of the person which several men choosing tattoo designs that are either red or green and several women choosing tattoo designs which are either blue, purple or pink in color. The colors are as important as the design of the dragon tattoos.

If you consider the Chinese mythology then dragon tattoos are regarded as ancestors of the Chinese people since these creatures were symbols of supernatural and imperial power.

Fire spitting dragons have been associated with lightning water dragons which were regarded as guardians of lakes, streams, rivers and individual pools. Chinese and Japanese folk stories are filled with stories of creatures with special quests at the end of their journeys which were transformed into dragons but the fact is that dragons have grown out of human imagination.

Question by Andrew A: How time consuming is the care for a Chinese Water dragon and how much will the cost be for everything?

How time consuming is the care for a Chinese Water dragon? Is it a daily thing? Is it difficult?

How much will the dragon, enclosure, and all other supplies approximately cost?

Thanx for any help!

Best answer:

Answer by KaylaByrd
They are kind of time consuming. They need daily attention. They have to be misted a few times a day and fed once a day. (once they are old enough you can cut it down to once every other day)
Most enclosures you have to have home made for a full grown water dragon. They can get 72 inches long. They need a cage with plenty of climbing space. So a taller cage is better than a long one.
It’s best to have a cage will all but the front covered and a screen top. Water Dragons think they can run through glass, so the least amount of glass on the set up as possible is best.
Size wise…for a full grown water dragon, the cage should be at least 3 cubic feet…bigger than that is perfered.

The dragon is usually going to be about , and enclosure is hard to price, the cheapest way to go it to build one…mine is out of wood with a screen top and a plexi glass front….then you have to make sure the wood has a finish so it cannot hurt the dragon…so it all depends with that.
Other supplies…you need a very large water bowl that you can change the water for daily…you can also give them a warm bath as often as you want to…(if you do it once a day or so, you can get a smaller water dish)
They need live foods, crickets and worms while they are on the smaller size…then larger bugs when they get bigger.

Cost all depends on your set-up, where you get everything and how you have it all put together. The only thing I can really give you a good quote on is the price of the dragon itsself.

Chinese Water Dragons aren’t the easiest to take care of and they are not the niceset lizards. If you’re not experiences with reptiles, I would start with something else…like a Bearded Dragon. Geckos or Skinks, if you are experienced and are looking for a bit more of a challenge than a CWD would be a good step.

I hope this helps…GOOD LUCK!!!!!
