    Water bowl for tubs?
    I'm building a rack next weekend, and i was wondering what type of water bowl people use for their tubs. If anyone can recommend anything at all that would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks

    I use those Crocks from Reptile Basics

    They're the same ones you can find at Wally World, but they're cheaper from Rich.

    Target sells these little water dishes for cats or something that are just the right size for small ball pythons to hide under, and don't have sharp edges. For larger ball pythons, I'm still experimenting, I use a bunch of difference designs.

    I use these 4" or 5" round porcelain dishes from wal mart. There like 2.50 a piece I think. There fairly heavy so no worries of the snake dumping the water.

    I use $4 melamine cat bowls from wal-mart. They don't tip over because of their shape and they have a rubber ring on the bottom so they don't move around.

    Wow $4, that's a lot for a larger collection. Smaller is fine but when you start getting to the 30+ snakes its way too much.

    Check your dollar stores. They sell ceramic bowls here and there, just buy them up. They don't top either as none of mine have tipped.
