This dish is just the right size. My scorpion soaks in it and the feeder crickets use it as a place to drink. I haven't had any problems with the crickets drowning, but that could be due to the fact that my scorpion is generally flopped in it, thus keeping the water level low. The textured side provides a nice surface for the scorpion to grip when climbing into and around the dish.

Pros: Scorpion likes the texture for crawling

Cons: -

I keep one of the Ex-terra feeding dishes in my dragons tank. He doesn't really drink from it but it does keep moisture in the tank and I have seen him crawl through it. Its easy to keep clean. A great dish.

Pros: durable cleans up nice

Cons: none
