MMMM-I GUESS I NEED TO ASK THIS-THERE MUST BE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WATER DRAGON AND A LIZARD-RIGHT? I DON'T THINK I WAS ACCURATE CALLING RICHARD A LIZARD!! SORRY I KNOW THE SKIN IS OBVIOUSLY THICKER AND I GUESS LIZARD AS A TERM IS TOO GENERIC. WELL HE'S GORGEOUS NONE THE LESS!SUSANSWATLIN518

Hi, I'm Richard's mom! First, I should say that I'm very honored to have Richard on POTD. In fact, Richard was featured on October 2, which is the 1 year anniversary of when I bought him! So, that was even more special for me.

I had no idea there were comments on his photos until my boyfriend brought it to my attention. It was really heartwarming to see all your positive messages about Richard. I do try very hard to keep him healthy and happy.

In response to susanswatlin518's comment: water dragons ARE indeed lizards. And lizards are very diverse in appearance. Iguanas, bearded dragons, basilisks, anoles, monitors, and chameleons (among many many others) are all different kinds of lizards.

Thanks again. It really is an honor!
