This is why most people use Ceramic heavier bowls or the Crock Dish/Bowls for pets, they are pretty heavy and almost non tip able.

I've noticed breeders use cut PVC pipes with deli cups in them, provides quick cleaning when you have lots of snakes.

heavy ceramic dishes.

I get my water bowls from the dollar tree. they are ceramic fairly heavy and I have never once had one knocked over. they have dog bones and other silly pictures on them but they are sturdy, cheap and stay right side up.

i wonder how they attach the pvc?

I found some really cool ones at Tuesday Morning. They have what looks like a ball python pattern to them. they matched perfectly!http://i1308.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7d25609b.jpg

They don't :) They use 4" PVC cut to a depth equal to that of a deli cup w/ a 4" diameter. The deli cup then sits down in the PVC. Think of the PVC as a sleeve. I like the Dollar Tree 6" dog bowls, but our local stores haven't had any for a couple months.

The other thing about the deli cups.... disposable vs. must be sanatized !

i have a few with dog bowls...i might switch them all that way they usualy dont tip...or try the pcv and delli cups
