Water dish

So really how big of a water dish do you really need for a ball python?

Just posted this on another thread about an hour ago.

"I use what look like dog water dishes in various sizes depending on the snake. Mine are big enough to allow for a soak and high enough that water will not spill all over if they decide to go for a dunk. This being said I don't keep any soakers, just how I like my bowls."

Ya I don't have any alameda either just drinkers

I buy the plastic or ceramic pet dishes from the dollar tree

My thing is will they be fine with small water dishes? I mean small for them just to drink out of

3 inch crock bowls

Yea if you look at the YouTube videos of the big time breeders like Garrick Demeyer and J. Kobylka, they always have smaller water dishes just for the BPs to drink from.

I use the RBI crock bowls. I use the medium size bowls for my 32 quart tubs, and the large ones for the rest of my larger tubs.

Yes they will be, BP do not have to have dishes big enough for them to soak in.

A 4 inches wide bowl is big enough.

I use round candle molds from dollar tree.

About 4 inches across glass with 2.5 inch sides and nice tip proof flat bottom. Being glass they are easy to spot clean and dishwasher safe. Plastic is porous, can grow funk over time, and some animals are sensitive to plastics. Although 99.9 percent of the time plastic is okay, I would rather use glass.

Cool thank you :)
