since our move is imminent, I've been leaving my enclosures alone, although changes are on my mind
this is one of the issues I've been puzzling over:
I want to give many of my animals bigger water basins - most urgently the indo garters and the plated lizards
ever since my awful water bowl incident a few months back, changing water has become even more cumbersome than it was previously, so I'm looking for solutions
two ideas I already know I will be incorporating are: cementing in a barrier to prevent the substrate from getting into the space where the water sits, and to put enclosures with a lot of water higher up, so I can siphon out the water prior to removing the basin for cleaning
any additional ideas?
