Physignathus is a genus of large, diurnal and arboreal agamid lizards, commonly known as Water dragons. There are two species, the Chinese water dragon Physignathus cocincinus , and the Australian water dragon Physignathus lesueurii . They are sometimes kept as pets, especially P. cocincinus,
though a full-grown male of that species will measure about three feet
(1 meter) total length and thus requires a fairly large enclosure for
proper care. |
