    You get those for $1? I checked four different dollar stores in my area and didn't find anything like that. I did that last month, maybe I should make another round because I'm sure things change often.

    I'm going to order a whole bunch of the Van Ness plastic crock dishes to cut doorways in and use as hides. Maybe I'll try that as water dishes for awhile, but they seem like they're too tall versus their weight, and therefore easy to tip as some people have experienced. They are pretty cheap, maybe I can just cut the height down but they're still tapered outwards. That might work though...

    I would really like to find some shallow ceramic straight sided dishes that are cheap though.

    I just placed an order for 100 Van Ness plastic crock dishes for $167 shipped. I got a variety of the five sizes CS1-CS5. I haven't found any straight side ceramic bowls for a decent price because google sucks, so I may try to use these as I will have more than double what I need.

    Here's what I use. I get them from IKEA, they only come in black now, can't get the green color any more. But they're wicked cheap and are pretty sturdy. Only problem is that I have one bp that is 1200g but thinks he can fit underneath it. So he was always crawling underneath and spilling water. He gets a heavy ceramic bowl. But with everyone else, they get these. Work great and have no problems.

    And they're only 50¢.

    For smaller snakes, they can double as a hide:

    Which dollar store did you find those in? I live in Michigan and we have a lot of Dollar Trees. I will check them.

    Thanks,

    Not as cheap as the dollar store, but not that bad of a price if your dollar store don't have them. Check out this site.
