Drinking during bath

Status
Not open for further replies.
My 2 beardies (Bruce and Natasha/Hulk and Black Widow) both get baths every day or every other day. Just this week, Bruce has started putting his mouth under water. He dunks his face enough that his eyes are under water and stays there for 15ish seconds, then he comes up and does it again. I would assume he is drinking the water... but if I am wrong, feel free to correct me.

Thank you,
Dan :D

Yeah that sounds like he's drinking. Be careful to not let him overdo it and drink too much at once. If they are thirsty I've found it better to drip water on their nose for them to lick up. It's easier to regulate that way so they don't get a ton all at once.

Thank you so much. I figured that is what he was doing. So, how long will I be able to house these 2 together? I have watched them together since I got them and I have never once seen them nip or bite at one another. The biggest problem I see is when he crawls over her and they both fall off of the vine or their sticks in the habitat, she doesn't ever seem very pleased about that but otherwise they get along just fine.
They are in a 55 gal aquarium with a hinged metal screen lid.

In answer to your seperation question, I'd do so asap as there is not a guaranteed length of time for young dragons getting on. Conflicts can emerge gradually, or suddenly with serious injuries.

Reasons for seperating as soon as you can are:
1. Its less stressful for both. No beardie wants to fall off a log 'cause fatso room mate decides to sit on them.

2. You cant always be there to see if there's conflict.

3. If one gets unwell or injured, its much easier to recover in peace.

So yeah, its great that you're asking this question before anything serious has occurred. Prevention through seperation is your way forward.

I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
