I've had my bearded dragon for almost a year now, and he's done great! However, just this week, he has started laying in his water dish. I know beardies don't really drink water, but I put the water dish in there to add a little humidity, since I live in Colorado. The water evaporates within four days.
I give him a soak in warm water about once a week, which he seems to enjoy. However, lately he's been sitting in his water dish, usually just his back legs and bottom part of his body. He got in last nigh after his light went out apparently, because I found him in his water dish this morning. The water can't be too warm, since it isn't under the heat light.
Any ideas? His poops are normal, with excess water around them lately, which I'm guessing is from the water he's soaking in. He is shedding right now, which I though may be the reason, but he's never done it before when shedding.
Oh, and he's about 2 years old, and has been eating normally, greens every day, and superworms twice a week. I did check the temps, and the warm side is about 90-100 F, and the cool side is about 70 to 80 F
