I have 3 water dragons, and they'll only drink from moving water. I was wondering if this was the same for beardies...could i use an air pump, tubing and a water stone to create moving water, or will that create too much humidity within the cage?

The air stone can cause a humidity problem but that would also depend on your cage set-up.

Some other ways to offer water are,

Misting
Soaking
RepCal pellets (soaked)
(I prefer the second 2 for anything above hatchlings)

Good luck.

Yeah, my beardies won't even drink from a dish, so I just give them regular baths/showers, and plenty of good foods in their salads (like soaked repcal pellets). I haven't used a water dish at all, in either cage, since January.

what happens if there's too much humidity? The cage is 24"X24"X23" (app. 55 gallons) and it would be only one small air stone

Too much humidity can lead to numberous problems, first thing that comes to mind is upper respiratory infection. Avoid high humidity at all costs.

You're going to seperate them when they are older, right?
