There is a skin condition found in many desert species when humidity levels are too high. It is called vesicular dermatitis.
Usually by lowering the amount of moisture, the condition will clear up. If left untreated it can lead to another condition called septicemia, which is very serious. It is not necessary to have water always available for collareds. It is often best to place water in for a 24 hour period and then remove for several days then repeat this process. Remember, these lizards receive most of their moisture requirements from the insects that they consume. I Hope this helps you out.
