Water Bowls for Racks.

Out of curiosity, what water bowls does everyone use in their racks? I'm havin difficulty finding some good ones.

I've never had one get dumped. The key is to keep them full so the weight of the water keep them stationary.

I use these also (for about 10 of my snakes). Never had a dumped one and I only fill them 1/3 full

Sounds pretty good to me. Thanks everyone!

You can find the same type of heavy plastic crock bowls in the pet section of WalMart. They're pretty cheap. I use the large size, which is 8" wide in my 41qt sterilite rack. There isn't enough vertical space in the tub for the bowl to actually flip over, but my snake does like to get in it and displace most of the water so I keep them about half full.

Very good to know. Thank you for the responses! I hate ordering things online. Lol.

You can also use 4" diameter PVC pipe from Lowes and cut to desired height. Then use all natural rubber caulk and "glue" them down. Let them dry overnight and then they are ready to use. Then we put in 16 ounce deli cups for the water and just replace weekly. Works great. Hope this helps.

I just started using the melamine pet bowls from dollar tree. They don't hold a ton of water, but they're wider at the bottom than the top so the snakes don't dump them. Also, at $1 apiece the price is right.

I have used many different types

Ceramic ones - Heavy and bulky to carry downstairs to wash and I use to break at least one every time I would clean them too, so I gave up on those.

PVC Coupler and deli cups - Still have some animals tipping them so I moved away from those as well except for my males.

Now I mainly use those

$1 each at the Dollar tree store, lightweight, plastic, work great no more tipping.

This is what I use in my 41qt rack

I honestly like these because they're not plastic:

:gj: exactly what I use! cheap and work quite well! I go online and order them by the case.

You can get cheap ceramic dog bowls at Walmart. Recently I started using plastic Rubbermaid bowls and use a wood burner to cut a hole in the lid and they dont slosh.

Until recently dollar tree sold $1 ceramic dog bowls.
They work very well for larger snakes, and I prefer ceramic because the big girls get cooler wrapping ceramic then they do wrapping plastic bowls.
