I'd be careful with stones though. If they burrow under them it could be bad. I use small chunks of cork bark in those size enclosures to give them something to get off the substrate.
Never heard of them drowning either. That's a first.
Agreed. the 2x2 square blocks make great water dishes for that size enclosure. Put a few pieces of aquarium gravel in them so the crickets or other prey don't drown. It will give them something to stand on if they go in the dish.

I use amac boxes for most slings. They're perfect. As stated above, get Water dishes. In my amac boxes that size, I use tattoo ink pods. They're perfect for them, and when dirty, toss it n replace it. They're cheap on eBay....like 150 for under $10. Also, I usually start a lil starter Burris in one of the corners, if there's no hide or cork bark in there. That way some work is done, and the sling can create its burrow
The water dishes aren't debated by knowledgeable T keepers. They are absolutely a good idea. Keeps u from soaking substrate a T like the Smithi will hate. I use those amac boxes for most all my slings. They're perfect. Like stated, a lego works. A water bottle cap works. BUT my fav are little tattoo ink pods. They're perfect size for amacs and have a little lip around the top that sit flush with the substrate when u push them in. They are cheap on eBay ...a pack of 150, (50 of 3 different sizes) are only $10 or less. That way if/WHEN lol, u get more slings, ur ready to go. Here's a quick pic from eBay. There are quick US sellers that'll get em to ya fast.
