Won't drink from the dish

[CalypsoTheLG]

I was wondering if any others geckos won't drink water from the dish? Mine walks through it so she knows the water dish is there, and I do clean it everyday, but yet she won't drink from it. She'll go into her humid hide and lick the water off the wall. Is there a way I could get her to drink the water in the dish, or should I just leave her alone and let her drink from the moist hide?

**The moist hide is tupperware with most tissue that I mist everyday.

just leave her, she will probably be drinking from it, but at night so you just dont notice it. She might not even be fully settled in yet. So im sure she either is drinking from it or will start soon.

Ditto I never see mine drink but water goes down he drinks at night

I have only seen 1 of my geckos actually drink from the dish. They get dirty though and go down way faster than evaporation so I'm guessing they use them one way or another.

Unless you are actually watching her 24/7 you're not going to know 'for sure' if she's drinking it or not. It's not like we drink all day

I've never seen my leo drink out of his dish either. Sometimes it looks like it has been used, others it looks like it has just evaporated a bit so what I do to make sure he is getting the proper moisture, I mist his tank every other day since I have seen him lick water off the walls and rocks.

Also if she's peeing/pooing she's drinking and not dehydrated. So you're good

dosnt really matter if you think its not being used just keep it in there clean and topped up just incase little leo dose get thirsty. i find mine like to lay in their bowls or wrapped around them in the summer to keep cool
