Hiding places for water dragon?

a couple of weeks ago i moved around my 1 year old dragons viv. She spent a lot of the time hiding and became a bit mopre defensive. I added and took away some bits yeasterday with very few hiding places especially when she gets bigger.

Is this mean because she seems so much happier?
Answers:
Every time you move the viv the dragon will be upset and nervous for a wile. This is typical behaviour and nothing to be worried about. If she is starting to spend more time out in the open then she is getting more used to the new environment.

If she likes hiding, yes - it was mean to remove her hiding places.

I find it somewhat unusual for your cwd to be hiding period. I have had 4 in my days and water was the only place they really went to hide and that was for a short period of time. I have also had contact with numerous cwd's and have never heard of them hiding inside or under anything. mine have ample places such as under the basking rock around the base of my climbing structure etc. Although this doesn't meen yours shouldn't its just it would be unusual in my eyes. I say this to prepare you for this question. do you have a poster or picture something that may be scaring your cwd and it feels the need to be watchfull? I have a friend who had 4 firebellies they would always be hudled in one corner in the water behind the filter. after rearranging his room he removed a color picture of a boy holding a huge pacman frog. after that the firebellies began exploring their 50 gallon tank and enjoying life. just something to check out. but feel free to mix up the tank it really should not affect them much even from the pet store to your house maybe 2-3 days of confusion tops.

well she may be hiding because her habitat is changing too much. so i say you maintain a steady habitat for about 2 weeks and eventually she will come out of her shell. also if you want a good idea of something for her get a hubba hut. i have one and mine used to sleep in it until he got bigger. goo luck! enjoy ur dragons!
