I'm thinking about getting a Chinese water dragon, any care advice?

I narrowed my choice down to a Chinese water dragon, and actually just bought a 40 gallon tank for it, but before I buy the actual animal I'd like to here tips and advice on how to care for it properly.

(Heating, tank size, food, ect.)

    You're going to need to build your own tank for an adult. Unless you're willing to pay thousands of dollars, there's no such tank on the market that will fit an adult water Dragon. The tank needs to be at least 6' long by 3' deep by 6' tall. Anyone saying they have a smaller tank than that for an adult is literally torturing their lizard.

    heating should be in the 90s tank needs to be tall so you need to get a small lizard for a 40 gallon. I house mine it a 130 gallon. its tall. food needs to be crickets, mealworms, super worms, waxworms, banana, strawberry,
