Hi,
I was just enquiring if it is a good idea to put a waterfall into Amber's tank. I know that moving water stimulates a natural drinking behaviour but I have concerns about the humidity level.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated as we want to continue giving her the best possible care.
Thanks :)

Unless you have massive space, a waterfall will typically create too much humidity due to the rate of evaporation in moving water and heat.
In certain cages that i use a water bowl in, I've incorporated a basic air stone which causes bubbles in the water. Worked with some of them, other not.

I would say nix the waterfall. Not all beardies drink water. It is a 50/50 shot if yours will or not. To stay hydrated, regular baths will do it along with a nutritional salad. You can also mist your dragon with a spray bottle and mist some water near your dragon's nose. Bernie would sip it off the wood or log when it puddled, but he never drank from a bowl.

Now, with all that advice.. might I suggest that said waterfall would make a lovely basking spot ? Without the water of course...
Hope that helps.
