Idea for water bowl...Pics included!!

So I went to PetSmart and found a Lixit Dog Carrier Cage Crock...this thing is basically a clamp on water dish for dog cages....I thought this would work well with a plastic tub....I thought about some people having problems with their snakes turning over the water dish...and this is how it turned out...It works well, but it does require a little bit of work...

The bowl just slides in and you turn it to secure it..I guarantee no snake will knock that off....it was about 6 bucks...that's about the price you pay for a good solid dog dish...

What do you guys think?

I don't ever have any problems with snakes knocking over water dishes ... And in my collectionn, I also like the fact that they can move them around ... to me, it seems like it gives them something to do when they're crawling around the tub ... almost like it helps to stimulate them.

Just my $.02.

Great Mod and Awesome Idea....thanks for sharing.:sweeet:

I use these in a couple of bird cages they're wonderful there, too. Just make sure there's no chance for a snake to get wedged under/around the crock in any way (but that's just my paranoid snake mom side speaking). You'd be amazed @ what snakes can get themselves into.

Great idea!

Awesome idea. My snakes LOVE to tip over the water dishes. The other day I was griping about it to them. Not that they care.

Fine then.

Wow what a great idea Nate! I use those for my doves.. I never thought to use it on a snake cage. hah!

I used to use these for my pet rat cages years ago, they do work great, never tipped over and were a cinch to pull out and put back during cleaning
