My dragon Sleeps in his waterfall

[Charmander&Torkoal]

The waterfall doesn't add to much humidity his enclosure has a open top. He has the right temps and humidity daily and nightly. But at night he sleeps in his waterfall. He is shedding too so that's probably why. Just want to make sure he won't die the water is cold at night I feel it with my fingers and it feels cold. I'd say 70° F just guessing. So it's not to cold for night time temperature but I just worry.

Water falls are not recommended for dragons since they are a desert reptile - I would not keep it in there - too much risk for bacteria and fungus --- mainly Yellow Fungus

Hello,

I concur, it isn't really recommended for them to sleep in water. He could accidentally drown & or get
chilled also. It might be fine during the day to some extent, assuming the humidity is fine. We usually
recommend not keeping any type of water dish, etc, in tanks overnight especially.
