    What do you use for water bowls?

    Ok now I'm sure some are thinking this is a silly question but I have a bunch of the exo-terra water dishes but I'm sick of water spilling over as they aren't very deep. I'm looking for some good bowls that'll fit in my smaller 15qt tubs as well as larger tubs. Thanks!

    I find the water bowl I use with my male is garbage, its prob one of the same as yours. But with my female, Its a ceramic water dish, its deep and heavy. Never seen it tipped, and its big enough for her to soak in.

    I'm sure you can find one at any pet store. I dont think there is any special requirement for a reptile water bowl, so I'm sure as long as you dont mind sacraficing the look of the designed reptile dishes, you can get away with one that is used for whatever animal.

    I use the medium rabbit crocks bowls since they are heavy enough that my big girl cant knock over and spill her water.

    I use clear glass candle holders from the dollar store. $1 each, no spill, dishwasher safe. Many people use ceramic dog dishes as well.

    I use 4" PVC couplings and 12oz disposable deli cups. Works like a charm and do not tip over! Plus, much easier to keep fresh and clean.

    Do you place the container in the coupling?

    Big ceramic dog bowl. Cannot be turned over and deep enough to not spill over when the boy decides to get in...

    Any kind of ceramic bowl with straight sides (makes it harder to tip)...I'm a cheapskate so I find them at discount places like Ross/Big Lots/Thrift stores, etc...

    Ceramic or really heavy plastic dog water bowls work the best for me.
