    Hatchling Rack water bowls?

    Any suggestions for hatchling rack water bowls? Ive been considering the pvc + deli cup method, but i was trying to find another option.

    I found large ceramic bowls at walmart for $.56 that work great on my other tubs but are a bit large.

    I need 300 of these, and ive bought 2 walmarts out for my other tubs so they arent very good options.


    Anyone know of any bowls that can be used on a long term basis, for .10-.60 each and that can be found in a larg quantity near 300?

    Thanks

    Well you can re-use the deli cups if you wish.. and they cost around .07 each with shipping. With that many snakes, I'm going to bet you'll get REAL sick of scrubbing 300 water dishes every week. I love just being able to toss the dishes and put new ones in every week.

    I suppose, and I dont plan on using all 300 every week, just as temp housing for a few months for the most part.

    I use 8oz deli cups for hatchlings and just throw them out each week ... washing gets very tedious with several hundred hatchlings ... no bowl, no pvc ... just the cup in the cage ... works well up until they start tipping them at about 350 grams.

    Yep.. I have to use the PVC for some of my more rambunctious small snakes (kingsnakes mostly) but the little ones don't need the holder.

    oh thats cool, so 8 ounce deli cups stand up pretty well with small snakes? I may have to go this way.

    Im going to search online, but does anyone have a good location for bulk delicups?

    thanks,

    Mine are tipping them as often as they can! I guess its time to go to the PVC.
