    I used them for my seven snakes until they grew out of them.



    They are great, and I never had one turn over.

    The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

    I find those bowls make great hides. They are so durable they have been passed down as my snakes outgrow them, and they still wash up clean.

    For colubrids or young BP hatchlings yes, older heavier animals? No to much tipping over, I use something with a wide base which means no more tipping the water dishes.

    Not if you properly clean your water dish on a regular basis.
