Just wanted to comment on putting water on their nostrils ....when you say a
caresheet said to put it on their nostrils, you probably read to put it on the tip of their nose, or snout. That is a very acceptable way to give water, they drink it as it trickles down to their lips. Most breeders spray babies from the time they hatch [ I've sprayed every baby I've ever hatched for 16 years] and this is the accepted method of
hydrating clutches of babies. If you were to put a clutch of 20 - 30 babies all in a small tub for
hydration, many of them would poo in the water while others were
drinking, and there is also the chance of babies climbing on top of one another and one easily drowning. Also, there are posts right here on this site of drownings + aspiration of dragons in the
bath. This has happened to a breeder I know . The reason I'm mentioning this is that by the time a breeder or a pet store sells their babies, they have been accustomed to probably 1 - 2 months worth of spraying for
hydration, and this has always been an acceptable way for them to drink. So yes, you can drip water on their snout, just don't blast them or soak the cage down,[ so the humidity doesn't rise too much, which is usually only a concern with enclosed tanks, not screen - top ] and while
bathing, be very aware that they should not be left alone in the water. Both methods have some slight risk,
bathing is actually a bit riskier of the two.
