Being the most important source of nutrients, an accessible source of clean water is essential for pet reptiles. Place the water in a shallow dish where they can soak to promote proper shedding. Also, ensure that getting out of the water is safe and easy to prevent drowning.
Replace the water daily and when the reptile has defecated. Clean the container every day and disinfect it every week. For some lizards like chameleons, the water must be sprayed on plants or cage's sides as they don't drink from bowls.
You may also drip the water in the reptile's tank, which is easier than dripper tubing. Make a hole in a paper/plastic cup's bottom; then fill it with water. How fast the cup empties depends on how large the hole is. Place the cup on top of the tank/cage above a leaf where the water should fall. Be sure that the leaf has another cup/bowl under it to avoid soiling the tank.
A sudden change in your pet’s drinking and/or urinating habits should be brought to the attention of your veterinarian Michigan City, IN. Visit the website.
