i have a water dish in there and i mist her humid hide every day how else can i get her to drink water?

hmm didn't know that.
anyways you can't force a leo to drink water they will natural go for it themselves if they're thirsty.
if you want to force them to drink water you can always have a drop on a finger and dab them on the mouth.

How is the texture of the urate, is it crystal? I have a female leo that had yellow crystal urate, someone told me that could be too much supplements, my vet told me she is too fat and not moving around enough, I am still figuring out what's going on...

If the texture is normal and the color is yellow/tang, it could be kidney or liver problem. Keep her/him hydrated by giving her warm soaks, if the problem persists, you need to take it to the vet.

I wouldn't say there crystalized, they look pretty normal it's just half is white half is orangish yellow, so i've been baiting her to the water dish w/ a cricket and dropping the cricket in the water, once it moves a little she'll swoop up the cricket and a mouth full of water which i think is good i hope, but i'm pretty sure shes active kuz i see her climbing all over this lava rock i added to my tank, oh btw what do u mean by soaking? do i have to put her in a dish of warm water?

Hmmm, be careful when you're doing the cricket and water trick, she might choke when she gets unexpected amount of water down her throat.

Warm soaks: put your leo in a container with shallow warm water for ~20 min, don't let the water get too cold. Not too warm too, just slightly warm will do.

why do u soak the leo ? thanks for the help
