So i have my beardie some water in a dish...

Just to see what he'd do.
He went right to it and submersed himself. I didn't intend for him to bathe in it so it isn't warm. He stayed in it for 20 mins.

My bear dies adore bathes in my / their kitchen sink / pool. Watching them wriggle / swim is wonderful!

I bathe him every other day and he doesn't seem to like it.... I was not expecting him to do it willingly!

Cute! Was he drinking too?

 

[stinax182]

I did not see him drink. Which sucks because i haven't actually seen him drink yet....

 

[Josh]

If he was thirsty he would drink
Especially while "swimming"

 

[stinax182]

Alright. I've tried everything that i can think of.... Misting his greens which he eats a piece of here and there, dripping it on his head, bathing for 15 mins and misting the glass for him to lick off and still nothing. But he's pooped 4 times and they all had urates. And he's eating his roaches so I'll just keep trying.

Have you checked your temperatures recently? What is your ambient temp? He might have gone in the water to cool down...

The cool side where he was is 85°f during the day. I know it's hot but in order to get the basking temp to 110°f i had to put a higher wattage bulb in. I'm getting a 40g tank soon so that will help have a better heat gradient. At night the temp is 73°f.
