If they have never had a saucer of water available to them, they can be leery at first, all our babies are exposed to water shortly after hatching and 99% of them grow to love water and swimming. They start off in a small sterlite clear tub they can see through, or sink. They end up in kiddie pools and they love it. IMO is gives them advantages over beardies that do not like water
Below is an article we wrote on getting them use to water with security if you would like to read our ideas.

both my cages have a nice shallow dish with water in it. Big enough that they can "swim" if they want. They never go in it. But if they WANTED to they could. But they seem to dislike swiming. Their mom I know sometimes like it, sometimes not. ONce she tried to swim in her water dish that's only the size of her own head.
