First let me say that yes you do need a water dish.Second, in one of your photos your enclosue looks awefully wet. Let it dry out as that much moisture with a heat pad in that type of enclosure and you are asking for rapid mold growth. Those aquarium tank type enclosures do not allow a lot of air flow unless you set it up just right. Keep the enclosure dry and overflow the waterdish once a week or so.I would also recommend more substrate at least 4-5 inches (10-12 cm).</blockquote>
