    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

WATER BOWLS

I used 24" non-locking hemostats to pick up straight-sided bowls in the cage...I think that sturdy flat-bottom bowls work best, & if they're too big, they'll be too heavy. I think mine were about 5".
Can't imagine how you'd use a hook? If you used a mini-bucket style with a handle, the snake would likely crawl thru the handle & dump the water; also, bucket-shape is top-heavy, too easy to tip even without the handle.
Good question, I just don't know of any new designs for this...maybe someone else will?
 
I use chicken drinkers, and a hook could be used on those I think, but they need quite a tall enclosure.
