What do you use for a water dish?

Kona (my 4 1/2 ft female) upends her water dish (a heavy dog bowl) every other day. I'm so tired of doing a major cleaning with each flood! The dog dish works fine for Ramona---but she's lighter and less active.

Any ideas for something that will stay put?

What kind of dog bowl. They make them that are cone shaped and are real hard to tip over.

Here check this out

That looks great---Kona's is just flat on the bottom, with a little lip near the top---she slides it until it's against the hide and the up-ends it. I think I'll buy one of those today!

4" pvc coupler from home depot and a 16oz disposable deli cup inside it. Works perfectly!

Yea give that a try.

Happy to help

i use heavy stone ware bowls . i use them with my 7 and 8 foot boas and never have a bowl turned over .

Ask and ye shall receive (and sometimes without asking)

Could someone post a pic of this pvc contraption? I'm having a tough time visualizing it . . .

Try this link. Plenty of choices to look at, but I think the fourth pic is what they are talking about.;)

Damnit. I really thought magic was the right answer. :(

Jamie, Adam only said the snakes say so that they're tip proof. He didn't say they told him WHY they were tip proof. It probly IS magic.

That would explain why people keep telling me that my balls are magical.

Rocks!

I use heavy ceramic bowls or exoterra bowls for most of my ball pythons and my smaller short tail. I've got a few snakes that are using the deli cups in the freedom breeder style hides, but the IJCP's are currently knocking them over, so I'm going to pick up something different. I use a cat litter pan for my black blood, but she tips it over occasionally and hides underneath it. (even though she's got another hide in her bin.)

I'd like to find a heavier water bowl for my adult black blood, but I'd still like to have one big enough that she can soak in, any suggestions?

these really rock (I know thats been said alot but they DO). Since ive started useing them ive not had another tip over yet. My huge girl will just hang all over them and it will still not tip. I dont know how they stay right side up but they do. :cool:

I use the mason cash ceramic dog bowls , never had a tipping problem with them.
i used them when i had my big argentine boas my biggest female was 9ft and very heavily bodied and she never tipped it once :)

dishes from petco...

i do plan to get them those delic cups with the pvc couplers though

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I'll check out that site Adam but my wife told me tonight there is a gordon food service store somewhat near where I work. I'm taking a venture out to find it on my lunch break tomorrow to see if they have any...not having to pay shipping would be cool. I'll probably pick some up even I end up going online next time...can't risk more messes!

Awesome! You won't regret making the change...

woohoo for GFS! Found the place easily and picked up two 50 count packs and paid $10.37...not to shabby from the prices I was seeing online.


...is it weird to be excited about getting home and setting up new water dishes for my snakes? :rofl:
