Hi
I have just got my first beardie and blue tongue. They look very healthy but do not look like they drink.
I have a large shallow water bowl but they never seem to go near it.
the beardie is a week old and the bluie is 2 weeks. If i place the bluie near the water he then starts to drink but the bearie is so small i do not want to damage it picking it up.
Should they be able to smell the water and head to it their self? or am i doing something wrong?
Any help will be appreciated

they dont drink that much, so you shouldnt worry too much if you dont see then drink.

Get a spray bottle and spray some on the and the walls every now and then - they will lick it off them selfs and the walls.

they are not in the same enclosure.
I will try the spray bottle, but how will the water go on the malimine walls of the encoluse.
Just cause the tanks is warm i do not want them to die from lack of water.
My house gets hot with this heat and the encolsures get warmer that normal so there is not much difference between the temp on one end than the other the overall temp stays about 29-31 deg but doe cool down towards the evening to about 24 one end and 29 on the other
is this ok too
