Running water for a leo?

[Neville]

If I created a small running stream, more like a trickle in my leos cold side of his cage, would that create too much humidity?
I wanted to make one for him since Ive seen the exo terra water fall etc.

The humidity can be an issue as well as feeders dying in it or, unlikely as it may seem, leos drowning in it. Get a few more opinions first, though.

The pool would be a small water dish so not deep at all. And the stream would litterally be a small trickle down a bed of rocks.
Feeders arent an issue as he is hand fed but the humidity is what Im thinking of. Even though it will be on the cooler side.

Curious about this as well, ive been wanting to add a water feature for a while but have not heard much about one with a leo.

although i am no expert, I would do it. stagnant water is a breeding ground for bacteria.

I honestly don't think it'll create too much humidity. Its kinda like having a water dish in there, just circulating the water. If you are concerned about it, maybe you could buy a cheap humidity gage and see what it says.

I had kept my leo between 60 & 70% humidity, for a week, while he was going through a very bad shed. He is fine now. And I have never noticed any respiratory problems with him.

But go for it. I would like to do something like that eventually.
