Here in the Philippines, we also have several species of flying lizards. The common species here in my hometown is Draco mindanensis or Mindanao Flying Dragon. People catch them because of their ability to cure tuberculosis and pneumonia, which is a myth. They boil them and drink the water.
One of my absolute dream reptiles! So excited to see you making progress with their husbandry, fingers crossed I'll be able to get some captive bred ones in the future
So, I live in Indonesia. I remember when I was a kid, me and my dog caught a draco in the woods near my house. One of the most beautiful animals I ever seen in real life.
Great video! I totally agree on your husbandry and care, however I might provide a little less strong uvb. I used to keep these and got to hatch the eggs of the females that came in gravid. Hatching the babies is not difficult (as you explained) but the care is so hard. I think the key for succes in keeping them hydrated and providing stable high temperatures. I'd love to give this species another try in the future for I believe they can make a great addition to the hobby. I hope you can keep us posted on your findings!
Thanks for the tip but the uv provided is still so much less than they would experience in the wild. I do make sure to provide plenty of shaded areas where they can completely get away from it if they choose. I do think my temps may be too cool at night for them but I’m not sure of course.
it is iendemic in south east asia..we used to catch them on the coconut tree areas when we were young..we used to throw them most of the time..they dont fly but they do glyde
My female Dreco just laid a clutch of eggs today. And she was so exhausted after. I. Exited and will be monitoring her health and her eggs. Hopefully all would be healthy and strong.
Hi Frank! I just wanted to thank you for your videos all about your passion in your lizards. I'm religiously watching all of your videos. I'm learning so much and taking down notes. I'm excited about my Draco having eggs and I'll update you when the time comes. Again thank you Jojo from the Philippines!
My 4 eggs Draco just hatched after 60 days. 😁 Their with their mother now and I just want to share you with this good news. I'll update you when I get to transfer them to their new enclosure. Cheers mate. Jojo
I have a 150 gallon tall aquarium 48x24x30. I am considering angelfish or a rainforest vivarium. I don't have the time for a reef anymore. I have a daughter entering high school next year. This would be a dream lizard with a Mist King setup and a ton of live flora; only if they / it would parachute / glide. I keep bonsai, orchids, and have a beautiful Border Collie. Animals and plants are my passion other than my family. Do you have any experience with seeing them in captivity with a setup as I've described? I would obviously put months into establishing the vivarium.
Hi, I have here a flying lizard that its wings are damage because of my cat catch it in the tree. I have a question if the wings of flying lizard can regrow ?
I managed to keep one alive from an import while I was visiting the Philippines and I don't know how to get it to eat different kinds of insects because it is stuck on my crickets
hi I know this is an old video, but for the first time I managed to breed my dracos and my eggs just hatched, but I do not really know how to feed them. Are you able to help give me some advice? Can I feed them pinhead crickets?? and how do I go about doing so?
Basically because they haven't been imported in years. My adult breeder females which were WC passed away from old age. If they are imported again I will start up with them again. I do have several CB males that are making great pets for some of my customers still.

After 60 days my eggs finally hatched and their so awesome!!! 💖💖💖

So, I live in Indonesia. I remember when I was a kid, me and my dog caught a draco in the woods near my house. One of the most beautiful animals I ever seen in real life.
Wow those are cool it would be awesome to keep one in a huge enclosure where you could see it jump and glide between branches
Thank you! I almost worked on the biophysics of these guys and came across draco about 20 years ago when I did field work in Malaysia! So cool.
🥑
They are absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't dare try breeding these but I would love to have a sociable adult

Loved it. Looking forward to more on these Dragons. You seem like you have the right patience. Subscribing to you now.
This lizars is common in Indonesia, my country. Indonesian calls this lizard "cekibar"
Great video, Frank. Congratulations on your success with the genus!
Hi I live here in the Philippines, my dad captured a female in our garage. We would like to keep her as a pet but I think she won't survive.
I would let her go unless you are fully researched and prepared to keep one.
Thanks for the video! I did not even know these existed! Excited to see what more you learn about this species.
My female Dreco just laid a clutch of eggs today. And she was so exhausted after. I. Exited and will be monitoring her health and her eggs. Hopefully all would be healthy and strong.
best of luck!

Big up from Hungary
hi
Awesome video, would love updates on your progress!
Waktu kecil sy sering menangkap hewan ini untuk dijadikan mainan
Great video on a unique lizard species!!! Update please!
Great work I’m impressed with your care tips
I need these in my life
💚
Very informative video thank you..just one question what about an outside set up or is that too much for them ???
I kept mine outside in the summer and they did great.
Great channel
Another great video!
Hi, I have here a flying lizard that its wings are damage because of my cat catch it in the tree. I have a question if the wings of flying lizard can regrow ?
I subscribed!
I have 4 Draco here and their are very awesome??? From Philippines if you want to buy it just reply men I have a green 💚 flying Draco
interesting
awesome!
I managed to keep one alive from an import while I was visiting the Philippines and I don't know how to get it to eat different kinds of insects because it is stuck on my crickets
How has your Draco breeding program coming along?
what lamp did you use to maintain it?
Where did you get those pvc cages from
pmherps.com
and a whole family
What do they eat?
wriggly bugs?
hi I know this is an old video, but for the first time I managed to breed my dracos and my eggs just hatched, but I do not really know how to feed them. Are you able to help give me some advice? Can I feed them pinhead crickets?? and how do I go about doing so?
congrats! Pinhead crickets and hydei fruit flies work well to start them.
Where can i buy flying draco lizards? Online?? any breeders?
I have not seen any for sale in a long time. Myself and Charles McCalister are the only breeders I know of.
this would be hard
Why?
@do you have any for sale?
Do you ever see them gliding or spreading their "wings" in captivity?
Yes. They open them to bask and do occasionally glide when jumping.
Is fogger good for them at night?
Frank I see your website says you are no longer working with this species. Why is that?
Basically because they haven't been imported in years. My adult breeder females which were WC passed away from old age. If they are imported again I will start up with them again. I do have several CB males that are making great pets for some of my customers still.
i have a flying lizard that do not bite me
How can we tell if it's male or female
Males have a thickened tail base due to hemipenes, a gular flag, and a more robust head.
I have a few questions about water sprayers can I use water that has been filtered? please answer
I use Mist King brand and reverse osmosis water.
@@LivingArtbyFrankPayne ohh
