Water Bowl Ideas
Hey guys, I'm looking for a big water bowl for my full grown Hog Island Boa female. There is a pet store nearby selling a water bowl for $30. It looks like 3 inches high, 12 inches diameter.
I thought I'd post here to see what you guys use and hopefully something that is reasonable than $30!

The weight is what you want to go by. Something she won't tip easy.

Cat litter pan huh? Not a bad idea. Have your boa ever tip that over?

I use those heavy crock dog bowls. Unless you have a water snake, they don't need to be big enough to soak in.

Re: Water Bowl Ideas
Get something she can completely soak in. As for tipping.. Bigger bowl = more water = more weight. Shouldn't be an issue.

Re: Water Bowl Ideas
I've seen some people post they use cement mixing tubs from lowes/home depot. I'm sure a small one would suffice.
