[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 192623, member: 33266"] Stagnant water will be a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. Needless to say your T will also wait for some fresh water to drop a food ball in it (on lucky days) or just take a dump in it (on bad days). Many Ts as well will bulldozer their enclosure substrate and flip your water dish, drop some dirt in it or will just make it completely disappear (some Ts are amazing magicians too). I understand we are here today because way back some ancestors lived in caves and survived it but would you prefer to drink clean fresh water or swamp water? I know it feels like we are spoiling them (designer enclosures, finest dirt to put in them, perfect temperature and humidity, red lights not to bother them.....) but at the same time they are our babies and considering the time and investment made (depending on your Ts and how many you have) it is not worth the risk. A good husbandry schedule and good habits will make for happy Ts. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
