"How should reptiles provide water?
Many species drink readily from pools or bowls, but a number of small lizards (such as anoles and true chameleons) drink by lapping water droplets that accumulate through condensation. Misting the environment or creating a drip system provides options for water intake"

I'm working on building a dripping water tree right now for my bio active enclosure with my lizards that need dripping water, so I just wanted to share a little fact that not every reptile drinks from standing water some need running water!! Have a great day. Hope someone you like these facts share some of your own if you're feeling interested!

FACT OF THE DAY!

"Popping is a method most recommended for young and small snakes. Larger and older snakes typically have enough muscle tone to hold their hemipenes inside. Popping is done by using a finger to place firm but gentle pressure about three-fourths of the way down the tail on the belly side of the snake.Nov 5, 2020"
