Alright, I'm bored, so I apologize cause I know this or similar topics have been covered before. I've searched, googled, binged, etc. and haven't found anything that answers my question, so here it goes. Are there any lizards out there that stay relatively small (18" or less) that are aquatic and actually swim? I'm not talking about they enjoy a soak every once in a while, but something that will actually dive down and use a decent sized water feature in it's enclosure. Any and all help is appreciated.
Any aquatic lizards that actually swim?

I have heard that red eyed croc skinks like the water but I would not consider them really aquatic. Maybe you could look into semi-aquatic amphibians like penninsula newts, paddle tail newts, fire belly toads, bull frogs, leopard frogs, etc.
Really, if you don't have any input then don't post. It's annoying, really.EricIvins;4684941; said:
Never heard of water skinks or crocodile tegus? Any more info you have on either of them?
Snakeguy, amphibians were my original thought but I'd rather have a lizard as I'd like to have something that would be at least semi-handleable.

Most of those are very difficult to find in captivity and would probably be pretty expensive. The water skinks I think he was talking about are the Tropidophorus sp. which are closely related to the red eyed croc skinks I mentioned before.
Shells and scales has some good suggestions but I doubt you will be able to get those animals without a considerable amount of money and patients.
