    Making water bowls, where can i get deli cups

    I am going to be using 4" pvc pipe to make water bowls with deli cup inserts. Where in the heck can I find 4" deli cups cheap. I don't need hundreds. I can find 4.5 but not 4.




    4.9 Balls, 6.7 Corns, 1.1 Black Milk Snakes, 0.0.1 Sand boa, 0.1 BCI, 2.0 Dogs, 1.0 Child, 0.0.? Fish

    If all else fails the containers that worms and crickets for fishing come in are just blue 4" deli cups with lids. That is what I use for water dishes in a leopard gecko cage with a PVC water dish/hide combo.

    Re: Making water bowls, where can i get deli cups

    What I do is use the 4" PVC caps. They are 4" wide by 2" tall. They are perfect size for a deli dish. I then use epoxy to attach this PVC cap to a 5" x 5" ceramic tile. This stops water tips, if the snake coils the dish and lifts, they are sitting on the lip of the tile and can't flip the bowl.

    You can get the PVC caps and ceramic tiles right at Home Depot.
    You can generally get the deli dishes at Shop-n-Save, Hannaford, or most grocery stores. You can try Super Walmarts too, but locally they will not sell them to you unless you are a non-profit organization.

    I hope I have been of some assistance.
