For the water dish? You can just use tap water. I doubt it would hurt. Many of the breeders and experienced reptile keepers I know don't use bottled water. Not because of the expense, but it's just not all that nessacary. Most beardies don't drink from water bowls, however it does happen. Keep an eye on the humidity level as it may rise to dangerous levels because of the water bowl and cause respiratory infections. I personally keep the humidity in bearded dragon enclosures around 40-45%. Above 50-55% is pushing it as beardies come from arid climates. To ensure that you are measuring humidity levels and temperatures correct, use a temp gun or digital thermometer with probe. The strip therms and the round ones from the pet store can be as much as 20 degrees off. Most Wal-marts carry the digitals for about $8.

When I had a bearded dragon I gave him distilled water or baby water. Tap water is generally not safe and bottled water is questionable (and sometimes is just tap water in a bottle).

I let tap water sit out in aan open jar sometimes overnight for my lizards. They use tap water, too sometimes. The pet shop usus tap water for them They really don't drink a lot of water, but it is very important to have it there for them. If you have a small water fountain, they will drink it better, and the constant moving of the water gets rid of chlorine much faster. I would love to have a beardie!

use a good de-chlorinated water, bottled water is the best idea and basically the safest and best way to go. DO NOT USE TAP WATER! the chlorine levels differ all over the place, in my area its so strong I dont even try using it for my fish, even with water conditioner I dont trust it!

It depends where you live. If your drinking water is relatively safe, it would be fine to give your reptile. Of course, bottled water or filtered tap water would be preferable, but the added cost isn't worth it if your regular drinking water is fine.

Tap water is fine. Always use the cold water setting as the hot water contains metals/minerals.

Separate your dragons and your situation will be solved. they don't look to be meant to stay mutually except they're mating, it is a techniques too early for a 4 month previous dragon, they dont attain sexual adulthood until eventually round a million 12 months.

REALISTICALLY YOU CAN USE TAP WATER AND THE ANIMAL DO JUST FINE. BUT IT IS BETTER FOR THEM TO HAVE A FILETERED WATER THAT IS PURIFIED. I ALSO ADD A CALCIUM SUPPLIMENT TO THE WATER TO HELP WITH MY BEARDIES CALCIUM NEEDS. THIS WAY I DONT HAVE TO DUST CRICKETS ALL THE TIME. EVEN THOUGH YOU SHOULD ONLY DUST AND USE CALCIUM 3 TIMES A WEEK STUDIES NOW SAY.
BUT FILTERED WATER IS JUST FINE.
