Water Bowls?

I was wondering what everbody uses for water bowls in their tubs

I use either the heavy ceramic crock type bowls, or the "tip-proof" dog bowls. If you don't use something either heavy enough or tip-proof, it seems like someone is constantly spilling their water, and I'm constantly changing papers in the tubs.

Here's an exampleof the "tip-proof" type bowls, though most of the ones I use are plastic. They are so much lighter than the ceramic dishes, and haven't had a snake that can spill em yet!

I use the heavy ceramic bowls also. Does help with tipping. But some have master getting the bedding in the bowls now.

I use dog water bowls. I cruies garage sales and swap meets and every time I see a dog feed dish cheap I buy it. Better to have too many bowls than not enough. I've probably got a couple hundred bowls now.......maybe I should stop buying bowls everytime I see them now.

LOL, I buy them in bulk from the local farm store....I get the big, taller tip-proof bowls for I think 99 cents each.

I have a ton of other bowls, (bins full of them, lol) but have pretty much gone to all those, replacing the ceramic ones as I drop and break the darn things.

Thanks everyone I'm getting ready to build a rack and I wanted to get some ideas for the water bowls.

Yeah, I have some like that too! The very best bedding I've found for them not being able to do that is the Sani-Chips. I REALLY like those, but do have a little bit harder time keeping my humidity up in the winter using them.

I use the overpriced pet store granite bowls (I know, but they all match and I don't need very many).

I used to use a 2 gallon rubbermaid plastic dish for my 9' BCI because she could soak in it, but 10 minutes after I put water in it, it's on its side again, so enough of that.

I use deli cups for water bowls in all but my biggest boas. They get the unspillable doggy bowls. What's nice about the deli cups is that I don't ever have to wash them. Just toss them and get a new one.

I use large Tupperware that's tall enough the snake can't tip it, but short enough to leave plenty of room for the snake to access the dish to soak.
