(The one I have I found with zebra stripes but the other ones I saw had cat pawprints and stuff on it, but you could always decorate to suit your needs.)
The bowl's out in the trunk of my car (since I have no snake yet but I have everything for it except for a temp gun and a scale which are soon to be on the way as soon as I get the money) otherwise I would take a picture of it for you. Plus it's 1 AM and freezing cold outside. If I could have found a nice, small ceramic dish (the only ones I found were 7 or inches in diameter) I would have used that but I think the dish I found might actually work better because there's no way to tip it unless they get under it and lift and I can always bury it in the substrate so it's resting right on the bottom of the tub.
The ceramic dishes weigh so much that I don't think that a snake could tip one over, but they are just one of many options that will work.
