Welcome to the Jurassic world of Aqua Dragons. Ideal for kids and a perfect “pet” which doesn’t need toilet training, Aqua Dragons are real live pre-historic aquatic creatures that you can hatch and grow at home. Their scientific name is Artemia Salinas, and they have been living in the sea and salty lakes for millions of years; right back to the time when dinosaurs roamed the Earth!
From the crustacea family, Aqua Dragons look like tiny three eyed, long tailed, hairy headed dragons that grow up to 2cm long. Their eggs have an amazing capacity called cryptobiosis which means they can dry out and stay alive only to hatch many years later. Tests have found that eggs kept in air sealed containers for up to 20 years still hatched when they were returned to water.
Each kit contains eggs that hatch into real live aquatic creatures. Just add water and they miraculously hatch in just 2-3 days and can grow to up to 2cm long. Initially the hatchlings will be microscopic but within 5-7 days you should be able to see them. They are fascinating to watch as they swim and play graciously in their aquatic underwater world. The perfect first pet and a great way of teaching youngsters how to care for living things.
Perfect for the bedroom, lounge-room or any anywhere in the house, the kit includes a stylish 10cm tall egg to house the Dragons.
