I would use a plant saucer sunk down into the substrate instead of that plastic rectangular container.

Looks very pretty. Word of caution about plants, looks like you may have some diphenbahia in there. Those are toxic to animals

Hi Pearly, which plant are you referring to here ? the right corner of the enclosure or the plant near the hide(left side of the enclosure? or both?

Hi Yvonne, as advised by Anyfoot , i have used rectangular tray as hingeback loves to stay in water a lot.
She asked me go for cat litter but it was very deep so instead used this tray. appreciate your advise!

I use a plant saucer and a cat litter tray, what I should have said before was I have flat rocks in the cat litter tray so it's not too deep, the rocks also give grip. Saucer for just drinking and litter tray acts as a bath, they love soaking .
