But every time I fill them up the water goes right through them and into the substrate bellow. It's never a leaking puddle. I e check. The water just goes right through and luckily because I have deep substrate in those enclosures they keep that sides substrate moist. But knowing that T's can also get water from Thier food and stay cool and moist in moister substrate I try to no worry but I'm def going to be replacing them. For now. I mist the sides of the enclosure so they have water droplets and I water Thier bowls/substrate as it dries out so not to over moisten Thier substrate. Not all water bowls are created equal I guess. I am also looking into something that I could seal them with that would be safe for the T's to be around and drink from.</p></blockquote><p></p>
