Thank you so much ! You've been such a huge help I just got a spray bottle and I'm misting him with water and he loves it !

Don't worry too much if they don't drink from a bowl. They take in water through their vents when you give them a bath and that hydrates them.

I would respectfully disagree. They do not take water in through their vents or skin, but ingest all moisture through their mouth. They will get the majority of this from their food, but as you discovered you can often stimulate them to drink by misting their faces. This is often easiest in the bath though, so bathing is still a good idea for a dehydrated dragon.

He actually passed away, someone showed me on a different post that pet smart didn't sell me the correct light to help him digest his food and that why he passed away

You're kidding, right? It's hard to tell time in written responses sometimes.
