Water dish

I'm using a milk cap for a water dish for my 4 inch GBB, but it dries out quickly. I'm gone a couple of days at a time and I'm worried it will get too dry for her. Any ideas on a do it yourself dish that won't dry out as quickly?

For many of my Ts that are 3" or above, I use small ceramic bowls I purchased from Petco (the 3" ones). They are fairly inexpensive, and they look nice in a display enclosure. For do it yourself, I use small plastic deli cups or cut down plastic drinking cups to the appropriate size. Both are disposable, so you don't have to worry about cleaning them out when they inevitably become soiled.

I do use the gallon jug bottle caps, but generally only for my juveniles. I do find them difficult to keep clean and filled!

You can use almost anything as a water dish. As long as it isn't bigger than your Ts leg span you are usually ok.
