I have a small water dish in Maia's tank.
The tank is a 29 gallon, the water dish is on the cool side.
During the day humidity is between 40-50..
but at night, it can get up to 65ish.
Is this ok? Or do I want to try to get that down?

I would bring that humidity down. Bearded Dragons are a desert species and an increase of humidity and a decrease in temps at night is not a good mix.

Probably the simplest thing to do would be to take the water out at night.

I have the same problem but taking the dish out at night didnt seem to do anything for me. Good luck! I had to get a dehumidfier that makes it disgustingly hot in my room

Bearded Dragons dont need a water dish if you bathe the 3 times a week and mist the veggies they get plenty of water keeping a bowl in the tank just raises the humidity level and can cause respiratory infections.
