THIS IS THE TEMP TANK TILL I GET ONE BUILT, WHAT DO U THINK?

looks great. that water dish is way too deep though, i would get a much smaller one.

you only really need a water bowl if you are going to be gone for a few days, otherwise misting them is all you need.

i dont use water bowls at all, just misting.

i never see them in it they only drink the mist water but i leave it there just in case. thanks though ill use less

i have been told in the past that there is always a risk of them possibly falling in and not being able to get out, thats why i always steered clear of them.

I agree about the water dish being too deep. I bought some wide, shallow decorative reptile water dishes and my cresteds like to soak in them, like a bath or pool, even though I also mist morning and night. The rest of the set-up looks very nice indeed!

I have read that alot of people dont use water bowls, and their cresteds dont use them when provided, but i have a male with two females, and all three of them use the water dish alot. I think if a water dish is provided they will make use of it. When i mist their terrarium they usually dont drink it.
