    How do you keep your snakes from dumping their water!

    How do you keep them from doing it! I'm going nuts! I have a smaller water dish and about every other day it's getting spilled. I fed him yesterday and this morning his tank was about 1000% humidity I had to pick him up and clean out his tank!

    He's 3 months old, 105 grams, and he's in a 6qt tub.

    Ceramic water bowls.

    Hope this helps.

    The larger the bowl, the better chance of the bowl not being tipped. I like either 5" or 7" bowls myself.

    Yep. For a little dish, go to the rodent section of a pet store for those little ceramic dishes, they work great!

    For larger dishes, you can't beat ceramic cat bowls.

    Ditto what the others said - and also a word of caution, my corn used to do that all the time, and he got scale rot because of it. So change it soon

    Re: How do you keep your snakes from dumping their water!

    I use inexpensive plastic dog bowls - the kind that every petstore and Wal*Mart has stacks of. They're low enough to fit well under the lids of tubs or within a rack, fairly tight underneath so they make a cozy coolside hide, and pretty impossible to tip - especially in a rack / tub setting.

    I use these water bowls. I like that they are light weight but don't flip.

    This first one is about 3-4" in diameter across the top


    This large one is about about 8" across the opening
