One of mine does it as well. He does it almost everyday in his tank, but ALWAYS when he is in the bath. It saves a little mess for me to clean later in the tank though. :) He is 6 years old and poos like he is a hatching.... just MUCH larger!
He will poo on a blankie, in his water dish (a swimming pool for him), in his tank, on his sticks(seldom), and in the bath.
I guess you can say he is a equal oppertunity poo’r! LOL :)

some dragons are just picky when it comes to pooping so the water helps them i think its like a scared reaction plus the warmth. hehe try it when you have a kid and he is having trouble peeing warm water. oo infact dont wait for that. do it to a friend. when he is sleeping put his hand in a bowl of warm water he will piss him self.or her self but that would be cruel. lol its pretty much the same thing just a quicker reaction they pee and poo together so its like this. i like it when m guy poos in the water it lets me know that he isnt impacted and that he is healthy because he is pooing. if he didnt i would think there was something up or that he is prolly hungry cuz there is nothign to poo lol
