The Dangers of heavy water dishes

TheVez2 Oct 04, 2007 02:34 PM

I don't usually post link to other forums, but this is important. A friend of mine was watching one of my spiders for a while and it burrowed under its waterdish, then the waterdish collapsed and killed the spider. Freak accident.

Here is his full account of what happened:

Just be careful with what you put in your tanks with your Ts. Even seemingly harmless objects can be harmful.
