That's why we only have Huey in with us gals. We belong to the agamid family and have a life span of 10 to 20 years. Appearance I can't give a better description of a water dragon than those offered by Mader and Coborn. Adult water dragons are various shades of green. The eyes are relatively large and the irises are orange.
Females are invariably shorter and slighter than males.
The laterally compressed tail take up about two-thirds of the total length. Our tails are banded green and a dark brownish-green to brown. I use my tail to propel me about in the water, for balance when climbing, and it works great as a whip when I need it. Actually it's a small round spot located at the top of my head, between the eyes and is really known as the parietal. People think it helps us water dragons, as well as a number of other reptiles, sense light differences.
