    I use 2.5 inch diameter dishes (size of a 1/4 lb deli cup) for hatchlings thru 300 grams. For 300 grams and above I use 4 inch diameter PVC connectors with 16 oz deli cups set inside.

    Hope this helps.

    I use wide bottom bowls so that my big boys cant knock them over. About 8" in diameter so they can take a dip now and again.

    Issa acutally has two water bowls. He has a one that is acutally a pyrex um..well, it's a little container, I forget what it's acutally called. That bowls sits on his hot side to provide some humidity. I think it's about 3 inches in diameter...but I could be grossly misjudging its size, it is a glass bowl. I think they're acutally like custard containers or some french dessert thing.

    The other dish is probably um..medium sized? It looks like it was carved from granite rock and isn't one of the exoterra bowls. That dish stays over on his cool side. He can't knock either dish over, although he has pushed the pyrex bowl before.
