Disposable water dishes

Does anyone use deli cups as disposable water dishes? I know some big breeders use them but I want to know what they use to hold them and keep them from getting tipped over. Suggestions?

The holders are just PVC pipe.

Yep I use them 8oz cups for hatchlings and juveniles and 16oz for my bigger snakes . It is in fact pvc you can get them at Home Depot or lowes for about 2.00 a pc give or take ... I've found it works great and they are not knocked over almost at all

Do you get the long pipes or couplings? All the deli cups I'm finding are about 4.5" across and the pieces I saw online are either 4" or 5" pieces. Thanks :)

Otherwise you can find an appropriately wide pvc pipe and ask nicely for them to cut it down. Local Menards did this for free when I needed some 8" pvc sections for snake tunnels. They cut a 5' pipe down, no questions.

For a general 16oz, asking them to cut it into 5" lengths should work, especially if you need multiples. Otherwise, you can get them to cut down the rest of the pipe for snake tunnels, climbing toys, etc. They're pretty used to this request at my place since people ask for similar cuts en-masse for things like DIY candlemaking.

Thanks a lot everyone, I appreciate it! Time to hit the hardware store.
