sithcdw":63ab4 said:the humidity issue really depends on how large the fountain is and which side of the enclosure you have it on (hot or cool). Im also guessing this is a relatively large enclosure. Most websites suggest having water available for dragons at all times and that it be large enough for him to soak. I would experiment with the fountain, put it on the cold side of the enclosure, if its not excessively large, youll be fine. If you notice any symptoms of excess humidity (weezing, runny nose), then you should take it out. You will probably also see your dragon drinking from the water because it is moving. most dragons wont drink from a still water source. If humidity turns out to be a problem, you may even use a dehumidifier.

But a 55 gallon tank is relatively small (in my opinion). i have a huge 4.5 by 2.5 by 2 foot cage for my full grown adult. Just keep an eye on the humidity, most sites recommend the highest humidity be around 40%. Keep an eye on him for several days and even weeks to see if he is weezing or has a runny nose

Keep it on the cool side is what I've been told so it won't cause vapor that's were humidity comes from, and to add to that the exotics place that told me that used this analigy "when you get thirsty do you get up and go get a drink or wait till your in the shower" so I bought a water bowl.

But dragons are much different than humans. We can only live three days without a direct water source. Dragons can live their entire lives on water they recieve only from their food
my cage is only 4x2x2, so maybe since yours is so big that is why you dont have any issues with humidity because its dispersed in enough area . maybe that is the key here, im not sure about it until i make his new cage which will be a little bigger, but id say to any in a medium to smaller cage it might not be a good idea, so go by cage size.pudden318":8e557 said:
