 HELP!

Hello

My dragon recently has been found in the mornings sleeping in his water dish. Is this normal or even safe?

 HELP!

Yes...as long as he wakes up ...lol Llike an alligator the nostrils should just be above the water. They love the water and also like to hide there. Is it too hot in his home ... is something scaring him.

Why don’t you give some info about the lizards daily routine? What else does he do. Temps night and day. Eating habits, how big is the lizard and the tank / home?
Where do you live and how much money do yas got???
LOL

Hey I bet that might make for a funny picture.

 HELP!

I have many different reptiles. I feed all of them in the morning when the cages have warmed up, and in the afternoon they get crickets. He’s in a 20 long with a topper that makes his home over twice as tall. His temps are good. From what u said I think its not an issue, other than he is really cold in the morning when i take him out of the water bowl.

 HELP!

If it makes you feel any better you could shine an infared night light on the water area and keep it warm night and day....put it on a dimmer switch and adjust temp as needed...

 HELP!

or get a submersible heater.... you can buy small ones with a plastic shell over it made for reptiles.... so they dont get burned.... just be sure you have a thermometer so it doesnt get toooo warm
