Saphira is a beautiful Dragon. She has really nice colour. She is also very tame. I like the way she sits on your hand very confidently. She is still fairly young isn't she. It is hard to tell from a picture, but it looks like she has some growing to do.
So how are you doing with her new enclosure. Did they send you all the parts yet?
I wish I had a water dragon. Someday I am sure I will. I hope mine is as pretty as Saphira.

That is a big enclosure. Saphira will be able to grow into it and still have plenty of room.
My local nursery is covered in snow right now and all they sell is firewood and Christmas trees.
You are a lot further south. It would be good if you had some real plants in her set up. I think water dragons like real plants.
I can't wait to see how you finally decorate it. You have enough room in there to make it really comfortable for Saphira.
She is one lucky dragon and you are lucky to have her.
Water dragons are so sweet and loveable. Now I really want one.
I wish you many happy years together.

If she is 22 inches then her enclosure is much bigger than I thought. Her tail is amazing. She is in good shape all over.
I hope you keep her. A beautiful water dragon like that is a treasure.
Even if she doesn't get longer she could fill out a bit more.
She is just so relaxed on your arm. You could probably take her out for walks in the summer. She will definitely like your sun room.
She could probably get used to a harness and leash. Or you could just carry her around.
If you were closer I know where you could rehome her to. I know there is a water dragon in my future. Looking at how sweet she is I really want one.

I have seen screen enclosures like that, but I have never seen one that big. You can set it up beautifully and she will have a great life.
If you keep her until spring you will never be able to let her go. She will have already bonded with you and yo with her.
I know you could rehome her easily. I really wish I could have her but it is too far and it is winter here. It wouldn't be safe to ship a reptile right now. The chance to have such a sweet water dragon is something you shouldn't pass up. A sweet water dragon will happen up here for me and I will have my green beauty too.
Until then, I have Barrie and he is loveable. And you have Saphira and she looks very much at home with you.
Water dragons do rub their faces, but in a big enclosure that shouldn't be a problem. So her face should get better. I hope her leg improves with good feeding and a proper space for her to move around.
