water bowls

For those of you with 6 qt. tubs for hatchlings, where do you get your water bowls? I am going to be building a hatchling rack soon and want to get everything ready.

I use small dishes from china sets. I think they are supposed to be for individual sauce servers. You can also look into chinese shops for dishes for soy sauce. They have some small pet food dishes for rats/gerbils etc. But I find those hard to scrub clean, while my china dishes are smooth and perfect to sanatize. Walmart also carries a cat food dish, small, and ceramic. Those are great for small tubs too.
You might check local thrift style stores first, as I've gotten a stack of 6 of the little ceramic dishes for a buck. Not even chipped!
I'm not a huge breeder though, and they might have something better, or disposable.

I either use ceramic crocks made for pets or these heavy plastic bowls made by Petmate.

Do you know what size they are? I am looking on the site now and found quite a few.

I use 6 oz deli cups, ive tried just about everything else but the deli cups work the best for me (less tipping).

For the 06's I use the 4 oz rammikan's...heavy ceramic and white. I get four of them for about $5.00 at Meijer's. They'll do for now and they do work very nicely but in the end as we get more and more snakes we'll go to something disposable as it's faster and in the end much cleaner than scrubbing water dishes.
