Croc Water Dishes?

Where can you buy these water dishes? I know RDR as well as MANY others use them, but I couldn't seem to find them on a simple google search...

What's a croc? I've been using ceramic bowls from Petco. They are in the small animal section/you know/in the snake food section(rats/mice). They have 3.5 and 4.5 inch bowls. Good size for juvies coming up.

Maybe you mean "crock"?
These would be straight sided(or mostly) round dishes?

I've bought close to a hundred total of the plastic crock style at walmart for about $1-2 each
Recently I've started to switch over to ceramic crock dishes, and the Dollar Tree(everything's $1) has them for $1 each, in medium and small. GREAT deal.

The ones Ralph uses are the same ones I use.

You can get em at Tractor Supply.

They're made by Ethical.

I cant find them on the dollar tree website at ALL.

Those bowls are JUNK and not the same as the ones sold at Tractor Supply. Theres 2 similar bowls out, that one, and the good ones sold at Tractor Supply.

It says they're made by ETHICAL, but they're not the same.

Your plastic bowls don't tip over? My medium sized girl knocks over any plastic dish I give her... :mad: So ceramic is my only solution.

I just want to find some g- damn ceramic crocks already. Ive heard of the fabled dollartree dollar ones but havent found any yet, and gladware is getting ridiculous cause all my snakes flip em over just so I would open their tub up and clean, cause they're sadistic effers.

Pavlov... lol you and me both...

I've got some wide and shallow $Tree bowls right now but I really like the narrower and deeper Crock style bowls that I've seen... :taz:

Try searching for "ramekins"

It was as effective as searching for shnookiekins, but I do thank the effort and the correct term for them I suppose.:gj:

Edit*
The fancier the word, the more expensive it is...ramekins-18.99 lol
Ceramic crocks of sheezy-$1...somewhere.

Just figured it'd make the search easier if you had the correct term. :P

This is true.

I stop by local Dollar trees, and often find 30 at a time, I buy every last one when I see them. most the time I stop 7 or 8 times before I see any though. Last week on my way home from work, I stopped and got 31 of them.

One thing though, the dollar tree ones are great, but They are slighly grainy, almost porous, so they need good scrubbing and disinfectiants to avoid them harboring bacteria. :gj: Good Luck finding some. :gj:

Ive never even seen a dollar tree in my LIFE. And I dishwash them anyway so whatever, not worried. But thanks, for real.

Maybe its a regional thing? I have seen them In Palmdale California, and Ridgecrest California Dollar trees. I think I have bought about 90 of them. I swear it seems like i am always short on them...lol and I dont have 90 snakes...lol

One time I went to Dollar tree there had to be 50 of them, but I forgot my wallet....silly me thinking nobody on earth but me would want these, I waited till my days off work to go get more....they were all gone :((

I just buy ceramic dog dishes :)

i only use ceramic for my bloods. i get them at target in the dog section. my ball pythons all have plastic and never tip them. for my large girls, i use the tortilla bowls from the dollar tree.

The search for 'ramekins' brought me to Target's website. They look they've got pretty close to what I'm looking for! And a set of 10 comes out to be just over $1.5/bowl!! Thanks for everyone's input! :gj:

I used to use plastic bowls for my ball pythons, but they always tipped the bowls, so I switched to ceramic bowls. Here is the link to where I bought mine: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...m?pcatid=19327. I use the five inch bowls for my ball pythons.

THATS who makes the ones I talked about on the first page. Super Pet

Have you seen the ones from Tractor Supply Eddie? I think you'd like em a little better....

This is what they look like

No, I didn't know there was a difference. I have had a few issues with mine cracking, so may have to make the switch. Thanks!

OH YEAH they're different. They're lighter for starters. The bottoms of them are also glazed, I really liked that.

Here's some pictures.

My bottoms are not glazed, and get the water seeps through often. Thanks again.

Bingo, I threw those other ones out once I bought all these.

No problem man.

Mine tip over plastic bowls too- yuck!

Here's an example of what we use:

Yeah, my ball pythons delight in tipping over all the water dishs. Since I gave some of them the ceramic crocks, THOSE are not tipped, no seeping seen yet.
The plastic crocks from walmart, while cheap and easily cleaned, were tipped over almost the same day I'd clean. The Dollar Tree had these, but you have to just watch for them to come in. Make friends with the clerks, and call on the day after their orders come in.

...I would say, if you use plastic instead of ceramic, find plastic bowls whose base is wider than its top; this should keep it pretty stable.

I use IKEA plastic dog bowls and they are great, because they are cheap and the snakes can and do hide under them because of their construction and I never had an flip over issue yet...
(Sometimes I think, Ikea is my favourite pet supply, I use their boxes, water bowls, lights...:D)

Crock is the way to go, I use it.

Where do you purchase them Simpson?

I'm moving up from the plastic bowls as well. Too many of my snakes like to tip them, and I like a uniform look so everyone's getting ceramic.

I just bought several dozen of these last night. I have a coupon for 10% off and free shipping if anyone would like it.

Nice bowls, glazed on the bottom as well.
