I didn't think my leo was using his bowl either so I was misting his tank 'cause I'd see him lap it off the walls, and rocks of the tank and from the inside of his moist humid hide. I stopped using tap water and switched to spring water as well as changing his dish to an oval ceramic soap dish and now I notice there is always water missing out of the dish even tho I don't see him drinking it. He's a shy fella :)

what? ... how do you kknow he's not using the bowl? just because you dont see him use it doesnt mean he isnt, the gecko will be fine if you leave the a small bowl of water in with him and he will use it when he needs to.
Gecko's are nocturnal and so will use it when you are asleep, thats when he feels safest and confident to come out for a drink.

He's drinking out of his bowl...you just don't see it. Don't use the water dropper, it's not needed. If you're seeing urnates and he's pooing regularly he's hydrated.

Just make sure its topped up daily and just leave it there.She WILL drink from the dish
