    Water containers for your racks

    Just looking for ideas you all use for your snake drinking water. I have heard about the cup inside the 4" coupling.. i may do that. Just looking for ideas. I would like something that is easy to mangage.

    Also, what are you using in your juvy racks.. it can get cramped in there...

    thanks

    Gladlock Sandwitch containers, minus the top. Sturdy, easy to clean, easy to replace, don't tip over.

    I use what Adam uses. works great.. inexpensive, super easy, just pop a new deli cup in each week and toss the old one. With the couplers even the big snakes can't tip it over.

    Try your local Asian supermarket. I think I get 50 or so cups for 3 bucks.

    I use the heavy ceramic bowls, no one has been able to tip those puppies over.....but cleaning them is a pain. The PVC coupler idea is friggin genious.

    If you have a restaurant supply store handy they sell all sizes of deli cups. GFS (Gordon Food Services) is the one we have here but I'm not sure if they have a store where you live but you can check online at this link to see.

    Hey Brad,
    If you are using the 5inch ceramic bowls, you can put a 16 oz deli cup in them. That is how I do it.
