How Do I Keep Mosquitos Out Of My Bearded Dragons Water Bowl?

[brebailey55]

I have 2 bearded dragons, one 12 and the other 6 months old. Recently while I'm cleaning their water bowls I've noticed mosquito larva in the older ones bowl. I don't know if it's harmful for him to be drinking and swallowing them or what. I've had him for over 3 years and this has never happened until now. They don't bother the younger beardies water, only the older one and I don't know what to do.

I shouldn’t think they will harm him, it must happen in standing water in the wild. I use these in my wildlife ponds and my dogs have drunk from them for 3 years now without ill effects so maybe worth thinking about. If the larvae are hatching, maybe you are leaving it too long between water changes? twice daily should guarantee no eggs will hatch in the water.

The dunks are more used in the US, can I suggest you find a US lizard forum and ask about their safety on there before trying them. I don’t use them in my tortoises water.
