    White ceramic ramekins rock! Most good department stores carry a selection or better yet check out restaurant supply stores for lower prices.

    Wal-Mart carries a small animal plastic bowl for about $1.50 they are perfect size and thick so they are hard to tip over.

    Some are 2 oz, some are larger...

    I buy them on Ebay.

    Great little bowls! :D

    Yep, those work great for the small hatchling tubs.

    these are the white ceramic bowls with the ribs on the outside you can get them a mejier, bed bath and beyond, and many other places...

    for little hides i go to thecontainerstore.com they have tons of little containers that make darn great hides with a little help of a hot knife they even have polycarbonate ones that can be cut with a dremel tool.

    At Target this week I found 8oz wide-mouthed canning jars...very wide and flat and shallow. They don't tip, and the neck of the jar means that there is no sloshing when I slide the tub in. $3.60 for a 4-pack, so cheaper than any of the ramekinds I've found. I am trying them in the baby boa rack, and they work really well.

    The bonus is that they say "Ball" on the side. :-P

    I currently use the ramekins for all my bps. Different sizes for different snakes/tubs. I do have problems with some of the larger snakes dumping there bowls though.

    For my baby spotteds, I'm using glass votive candle holders that I picked up in a local craft store. They work beautifully! Might be a little small for even the smallest bp, though.

    I like the deli cups better than the shotglasses now; thanks for recommending them :) I had a few SGs spill, which was not good at all.. no one has dumped a deli cup thus far. And they like to huddle in between the cup and the tub side for a nifty hidespot.. brilliance!
