Just a few pics of my Chinese Water Dragon and his current setup. (Will be changed in the future to a larger custom made setup) He is around 18" and I have had him for about a year now. The tank if a 20-Gallon. 10-Gallon with a 10-Gallon topper, just like the Cuban Knight Anole Setup.
I'll post pics of the Bearded Dragon setup later...

Thanks. lol, wish I had the reptiles you have.

So I need someones opinion. Would it be better if the entire bottom of the tank was just water or just the way it is now?

..I would set up 1/2 water and 1/2 land or 1/4 water and 3/4 land...with some branchess above the water.:)
 
Very nice! I've always wanted one of these guys, but I'm a Herp newbie and only have a Pixie Frog that was left in my care.
 
That dragon has some nice colors. So have you considered building a cage for it? These guys need a much larger setup than a 30 gallon. I like your idea of putting the wire top on that aquarium. You could do the same at a much larger scale.

Thanks. Guess I'm the opposite of you then, lol, I'm a fish newbie.... kind of. I started collecting exotic reptiles four years ago, then switched to collecting exotic/oddball fish two years ago. The few reptiles I own now are just left overs of the ones that were not sold, ect.

Thanks. I have thought about building a cage for him once he gets larger, and that was my original plan. Should be much easier than building a custom aquarium, lol.
 
I get too that soon because is he's 18 inches now a 30g is absolutely no good
I would use it has a pond though so you could watch him swim and stuff and build the cage around it
