Need Help With Water Dragon!

[FuriousFish]

I have a small sized enclosure (3x2x2) and was wondering how long a Chinese Water Dragon could live in here before i upgrade.i know that they are aboreal and like to climb but this is the only empty enclosure i have at the moment.
So, how long could one last before i build a custom enclosure?
Also, how fast do they grow?
(the picture is an old pic of the enclosure not its current state.)

You mean Physignathus cocincinus? I don´t know man...but that tank has no holes for ventilation at all. Aquarium tanks are bad for most reptiles in general. The air isn´t moving much inside. That can cause health issues. Also the tank should be much higher. They are arboreal creatures who like to climb. The setup should look more like that:

It has a screen lid... Does that give good enough venalation?

No, the problem is, that hot air will rise up and cold air stay on the bottom. There are no holes near the ground. So no fresh air can be sucked inside and rise. That means the air does not move much at all inside. I would not do it.

You don't understand what he's saying. It has dead air in the tank. You could place a small fan on top to move the air around

I think best would be to search another enclosure. I don´t see how that tank could be a proper home for that species. But thats just my opinion.
