Specifically, it is endemic to Halmahera and Ternate Islands of Maluku.[1][2] It has a life-span of between 10–15 years.[3] H. weberi is the smallest of the three recognized species of Hydrosaurus, attaining an avg. total length between 2–3 ft. Some argue that full species status (H.weberi) may be invalid and claim this agamid should be classified a subspecies of the larger H. pustulatus, Philippine Sailfin; for the purpose of this literature, H."weberi" shall remain a distinct animal. The third species, H. amboinensis, Indonesian Sailfin is the largest of the group. Although much research is still needed, it is known that this lizard is primarily omnivorous; devouring whatever animal it can overpower plus consuming a variety of vegetation and fruit. In captivity, juveniles are usually maintained on a 60% insect / 40% vegetation diet. Adults consume approximately 75% vegetation and 25% insects and other non-vegetation life.
