Pill packaging suitable water dish for slings?

I recently made my 1cm sling a water dish by cutting out a pill container from a package of Benadryl (rinsed out well of course). Does this look like a suitable water dish for a sling that size? The bottle cap was taking up far too much floor space

Im not sure what you are using here. Is it the actual pill coating? I think those dissolve when soaked in water.

It’s the small container covered in foil that boxed pills come in, I’m sure there’s a name for it but I don’t know what it is. Rest assured it won’t melt, it’s plastic

A blister pack, IIRC. I can't give any set in stone judgement on using it as a water dish, but I like it.

At 1/2" I wouldn't worry too much over a water dish. Put a few drops of water always at the same place in the enclosure, the sling will absorb the humidity there. Am I recognizing the FearNotTarantula complete package here?
