That;s interesting 'cos neither Gisela or moi know owt about water dragons and wondered if it's nose was normal.....Ugh I hope where-ever it was has noticed the awful snout-rub on that poor water dragon.
p.s. what's snout rub?

Basically water dragons get it sometimes when their enclosure is too small/they are stressed. They end up rabbing their faces so hard on the walls trying to get out that they damage their snouts. That one looks pretty bad but maybe it was and adoptee (hopefully) and it's not still doing it.
There was a sign stating that 5 water dragons had been let loose to roam in the enclosure, will it recover?

Definitely! We walked for miles (wish I'd got my pedometer on :lol: ).. obviously there's different plants looking their best according to the season and today the rockery area looked particularly impressive.... and the flycatchers... and the orchids...... I spent quite a bit of time on the floor taking piccies :lol:

Yes, we walked A LOT, my legs are still complaining. :lol: But it was well worth it. We were up in the treetops, and below the ground. We looked at those amazing photos that I posted about yesterday. And generally had a good time.
Here are some of the many photos I took:
And one for Maizy:

That's the top of a cactus. I tried to find all sorts of patterns like that today. Your photo of the lotus flower is brilliant. Mine is ok, but I could not get as close as you (or rather, I did not dare to step too close to the water...:lol: ).

Both of you two must have fantastic cameras to get such amazing quality shots. Beautiful pictures, brilliant.

I'm afraid that when the damage is as bad as that it won't grow the tip of its snout back. The end of the snout looks fairly clean so hopefully it's not still doing the rubbing as I say.
Here's a link on snout-rubbing in water dragons I found that explains it better

The last one is amazing, you can see all the little hairs on the leaf. my close-up of that one came out all blurred. This is the only one I liked, because of the focus on the one in the front, and the blurred background:
I also like the little droplets on the sundew:
And this is my version of the lotus flower. It just looks so unreal, as if it was glowing. And they have such lovely leaves, too. Shame that they would not survive in my pond. :lol:
