I just purchased 2 3 week old Bearded Dragons. How are those little drippers for giving them water. It would be nice to provide water for them all the time, rather than spraying. I am using clean and filtered play sand as a substrate.
Thanks for any opinions

For 3 week old dragons, you shouldn't have them on sand at all, they should be on paper towel. As for the water drip, there isn't any point getting one of those as all you need to do is mist the dragons 2 - 3 times a day till they are several months old and eating greens daily. Babies hydrate very quickly and need to have water available at all times. If they will drink water on their own from a small shallow dish, all the better. You could use the water drip thing but for the extra cost, it's not worth it since there are much cheaper ways of doing it that work just as well.
