K, so i read a few times that T's move around their water dishes and so on so i was wondering if T's like "toys" lol.. kinda weird i know but i also read some people have put ping pong balls in their enclosures and the T's roll them around and stuff. Has anyone ever bought their T a toy? And if so, did they like it? I was gonna put a bottle cap in there to see if it would move it around or anything. Also i wanted to do it because i hardly see my T really move around the enclosure, So i was gonna put the cap in there and see if its moved during the night.

Any thoughts?

Have to try the ping pong balls, very intriguing. Want to try it with juvies too, they're a lot more active after all.

I have a question, I've never seen our T drink water but I just saw this.. not sure if I missed it or what but I'm wondering if this dish is too big?
