    I use the PVC pipe end cap things from the hardware store. Cheap, and have yet to be tipped! I had to sand down the edge a little, but that's about it :D

    Yea monk just linked me to deli cups $31.75 for 500 comes to about $0.06 per cup. $2 a holder.

    I think its worth it for the peace of mind no tipping and no cleaning water bowls no more. Cleaning 12 bowls is a pain in the butt.

    Prices range anywhere from $0.25 to $2 at this place.


    It was a joke. You said you bought them at the dollar store. So you paid twice as much as I would have paid for them at a dollar store.

    On a side note, my baby pastel tipped the steel bowl over last night. Guess I'll try the PVC.

    I use ceramic bowls with all 13 of my snakes and have never had a spilled water dish. It's worth the few extra bucks to me.

    For those of you that are using the PVC coupler with deli cups, how long do you use the cup before you toss it?

    I still don't think you do, but whatever.....

    Acceptable responses would be.....
    • lol, how do they get away with ripping people off like that?? :confused:
    • They came in two-packs. :gj:
    • Inflation, what can you do? :rolleyes:
    • There use to be a time when everything at the dollar store only cost a dollar. Now it's more like "try and find the one item that only costs a dollar".... :weirdface


    Not
