I can't find anything that says how long slings can go without water.I usually check water every three days to a week when i feed my slings (depending on who needs fed and who's in pre molt) and ive never had an issue.  It's got hotter than usual in my house for about a week. I found that my versicolor water bowl was completely dried up which was very concerning because she/he has dry sub. She's ok but it was really concerning. Also another of my slings had a dry water dish and dry sub. The third that made me worried does not have a water dish and it's sub was also dry. They all seem fine. I didn't think that increase in temp would cause everything to dry out so quick.I'm going to check the water for all of them every day now until it cools down and always keep dirt and moss out of the dishes, but i was wondering, how long can a sling go without water?</blockquote>
