You could try turning it 90 degrees to the side so the snake could still get to the cool side I suppose.
Water holds heat well, it would take time when it was first put in to heat up, but after that I dont see an issue.
It takes up about 1/3 of the space, I just had it pulled out a ways.
I agree that its a bit large, but I figure I can also fill it up less and it will still be stable. There is room if i push it to the middle right, or turn it sideways that the snake has room to be on cool or hot side, and that will just be in the center.
Im still going to order 500 of the 8ouncers as well, just looking for local options.

I didn't mean this.. I just mean the snake needs to be able to get to the cool side. If it can, I don't see a problem.

Oh sorry, yeah, if i turned it sideways and put it in the middle they would have access to 3 heat points, cool, half and half, and warm.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hope it works out for you. Hard to beat that price.

I actually dont have that issue anymore with the 16oz cups. The tubs I got have the built in cup holder and it works perfectly! What he could do is buy a piece of 4" PVC pipe and cut it to size for the 8 oz ones I might do that as well.
