    Get heavier water bowls? Cut a piece of appropriately sized PVC and put a deli cup inside so they can't tip it?

    I buy these (not necessarily this size) at the pet store:

    You can use any ceramic dish really. I would pick glazed over unglazed for ease of cleaning.

    I would recommend the "Ethical Products Crock Dog Dish". You can get them at many online stores. I have all my snakes with them and I don't have a problem you can get many different sizes and I see that a lot of people use them now.

    You can get shallow water dishes that are large so the snake can completely fit in it without spilling it! I got mine from the pet store for like $10!

    Wallmart. Get some dog bowls that are tip over proof. It might not fix the problem though. Sounds like your snake is learning Kung Fu. Might need to give him more room.
