Krazy glue safe to use around bps?

[reptidude1]

my bps keep spilling their water bowls, so i wanted to know if it would be ok to put some krazy glue on the bottom of the water bowl and glue it to the tuB?

[Aeries]

Not sure, but won't that make it difficult to change the water?

And how would you change the water when it gets dirty?

I don't recommend using any kind of adhesive material around animals with scales.

not for me, when i clean the tub, its a simple as tipping the tub upside down, but i was thinking of just using their current water bowls as holders for another water bowl, almost like the idea in ars rack tubs

Water bowls need a good rinse and occasional disinfectant used on them. I would think dumping this in your garbage bag would be difficult if a leak persisted.

1st of all i would dump it in the toilet, second of all i said i would probobly wind up using it as just a holder

heck get a piece of PVC pipe that eth bowel will fit into and glue that down to th cage and then palce bowl in problem sloved bowl can com out to be cleaned and there still a set place for it . and if you can find a piece od pipe takerhte largest one you can get and recut the pipe so it fits in sections just make sure the edges are smooth and the bowl actually deeper than the pipe so it wll sit flat inside.
You know I should do this with the larger bowls and my snakes since theylike ot push theirs around.. Makes note ot do so over the winter lol butI personlly will use a silcone bases glue so it can be peelled off if ned be once in a while.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate) is probably pretty safe around BPs when fully dried, but I would imagine the fumes would be harmful initially. I think hot glue would probably work better, and have less potential to harm your snake. And it's not permanent, you can always use a hair dryer and heat it up and pull it off if you decide to move the bowl, change holders, etc. I think a glued-in bowl holder is not a bad solution to the tipping over problem. Cheaper than going out and buying a weighted bowl, and just as simple as making one .

Let me suggest a trick we use. After you glue the holder to the tub, buy 8oz. deli-cups at your local paper supplier, they are pennies a piece. then cleaning is just taking the deli-cup and tossing it in the garbage. get a fresh one and keep going.
Note we use 4" thin wall pvc plumbing caps for the holder. they fit perfectly!!!

Why dont you just buy a spill proof dog bowl. They have a steep angle on them with a rubber slide proof bottom. My larger snakes use them and they have never splled them. They used to spill the normal bowls every night.
