Bearded dragons require a dry cage, but need to get a lot of water from sprayings and eating fresh vegetables. The hatchlings should be sprayed twice daily on their heads, keeping the spray directed onto their heads as long as they keep lapping up the water. Adults should be sprayed a few times a week. This simulates the natural way dragons get water by licking up drops of dew they find on plants in the morning. Some do learn to drink from a shallow water pan, but if they get thin or dehydrated it will be necessary to get them to ingest more water by increased spraying and by misting their fresh vegetables. If using a water dish, the water MUST be changed daily and if the dish has been defecated in - it must be cleaned immediately.

My bearded dragons used to love baths. I would put a warm water bath in their tank for 1 hour once a week, and they would all go float in the bath the entire time. Make sure it doesn't change the humidity in your cage, needs to be arid, not humid. Make sure the water temp is warm, not hot nor cool. 95 F is about right for most dragons. Use bottled water, not faucet water as it contains chemicals. Warm the water in the microwave and stir to even out the temperature. Keep the water warm while they are in it by putting your heat rock in direct contact, or by placing a heat light over the water, or an under the tank heat pad under the bowl.

Not sure, but, most reptiles like it warm to hot. If you use a Hot Rock check if it water proof and set it close to the water or figure a way it may be able to warm the water indirectly. If your Dragon want water then it be there for it.
