Beardies like a low humidity level, and can be sensitive to the bacteria that grow in standing water. Instead of a water dish in the cage, I recommend a daily bath/misting OUTSIDE of the cage. I use a rubbermaid container with hand temp water to about chest deep, and give them a couple of squirts from a spray bottle to get them started. ALL of my BD's seem to relish bath time. It doesn't take them long to get the hang of it either.
