How do I hydrate my bearded dragon? Are water bowls safe for humidity?

Question

How should I give water to my bearded dragon? I have heard that water bowls can be bad because of evaporation which causes high humidity? His previous owner would offer him some every now and then in an eye dropper.

Hello. Lewis should always have a bowl of clean water available. The amount of humidity contributed by a bowl of water is negligible if the remainder of the enclosure is appropriate. Bearded dragons must stay hydrated or they are at risk for kidney disease and gout. If the enclosure is large enough, provide a bowl that Lewis can get his whole body into, or make sure to soak him for 15-20 minutes several times a week. More information on bearded dragon are can be found at anapsid.org. Good luck!
