Question Water Source For T's

Seriously looking into T's now. You people have tingled my interest buds
Just 1 question though, how do you supply water?
I have read somewhere they get most of there moisture from crix etc.
So many do's and no donts makes it hard to resist getting 1

Ah right, i suppose just changing the moss once a week would be fine. I've seen that sponge thing in rep shops, re-useable sounds good also!!

Sponge is really really bad! It's a breeding ground for nasties. I just mist and put a wide shollow water bowl filled with spag moss. If the T is under 2.5 0- 3 inch all you need to do is mist on a regular basis.
