Stylish and Safe Water Dishes

[Arsinoe]

This reply got lost in another thread where a member doesn't water his snake but when he wants to cause it tips over the stainless steel bowls. And he won't use crocks cause of chemical leach. I want those who want a creative and estetically nice alternative to see this.....

I have a solution to your problem. And it's been approved by the most spoiled snake ever invented. Pressed or cut glass bowls. They come in all sizes. I use the big serving size for my fur family. You can usually find these in thrift stores with or without the sterling plated rim. You must pick something with a completely flat bottom. Any curvature or legs will tip over. If you can't find any at the thrift stores. Maybe go to a Dollar Store and look for a cut glass ashtray. They are heavy shallow and wide and good for a small snake.

All the etching is on the outside so you can easily clean out the inside with a wipe of a paper towel. And since it is substantial it's very unlikely you would drop it.

Also make sure it's not leaded glas. It can leach into the water. They usually are heavier and have very sharp cut facets and will give a musical like 'tink' when you tap it with something metal. Not a 'thunk' like with regular glass.

Please get something for you snake. How would you like to want a drink and not have anything except when scheduled by someone else.

Here's some examples
