Hello Dekaybrown,
I can appreciate the time that the drowned sav spent in the tub without any footing, but I run, swim, mountain bike and more. The point being, I can tread water for 45 minutes. It is not that hard. These lizards may not use tools, but they do use the tools that they are hatched with extremely well. They are designed to resist floods, cross running rivers(over and under the water) and pass from island to island if need be. What is missing from the drowning story is that the lizard was left stressed in too hot or too cold of water. Even crocodiles have been known to drown in water too cool for them to respond. I agree, the enclosure should provide for anything you would want a tub for- or move the tub in the cage... But, to express what I am saying, even as shallow as your lower picture will kill if too cold or hot and not from freezing or cooking, drowning. Best to You- Mike S
