Does My Beardie Need More Water?

I give him greens everyday which he eats, baths once every few weeks, but no water in his cage becuase he gets it everywhere.

Dragons do get most of their necessary water from the foods they eat and many don't recognize standing water (Mine recognize it only as something to play in--most won't drink from a bowl at all.) If you are want you can try dropping or spraying water on his nose. They will usually lick it off that way. But, if he eats well, soaks regularly and you aren't seeing any signs of dehydration (wrinkly, sunken looking etc) you probably don't need to offer supplemental water.

Best,
