Stylish and Safe Water Dishes

[Arsinoe]

I'm sorry..............I sure you're sick of hearing about my practically perfect Alexander. But he doesn't poop in his bowl or anywhere near it. I had no idea common-er snakes that live in and around Tupperwear poop on everything like little barbarians.

I remember a while back, someone on here posted some photos of one of their snakes that could barely still squeeze under one of those with out tipping it...

Not exactly like the bowl in the picture, but I think this is the thread you remember?

Those bowls make really nice hides/water dishes for young bp's.

i would not be interested in scraping poops out of all those crazy crevices .

Hilarious!

Arsinoe yes, little barbarians. mine only poops in his humid cave style hide and when he is finished knocks the cover off for so I know to clean it. he has more common tastes however and likes a under plant saucer as a water bowl. No accounting for tastes!

Are you trying to say that because some of our snakes are kept in tubs that they are "barbarians" because they aren't "spoiled"?

Rich, Those are great! hmmm!

I have dog food bowls much like the ones on the link. The snakes love to hide under them and get drinks too. Cheap and very functionable.

Since I'm the one that mentioned the SS water bowls and not liking crocks, I thought I'd explain my position. I've got one snake that can tip over her bowl. None of my other snakes can tip them over. These are the heavy duty SS bowls with a weighted bottom. Like I said, none of my other snakes tip their's over, but my het for pied seems to make a game of it. She likes to lay her head on top of the bowl, so she spends most of her time getting the bowl upside down.

As for the crock bowls, I've heard that lead is still used in these types of bowls. This is the main reason I don't use them, plus I can't put then into the dishwasher. The reason I use the SS bowl, is the ease of cleaning. and I like the look of SS. I like being able to put my water bowls in the dishwasher and use the highest temp setting to super-clean the bowls. I'm not saying I'm right and you're wrong, these are just my preference.

But for the glass stuff listed by the OP, I too would have a problem with cleaning the little nooks. I wonder how sharp some of the patterns would be? I've seen some of the cast glass that have some sharp edges. I guess if you're looking at them in the store, you can determine if the glass has any sharp edges. I do believe these would work just as well as a crock or SS bowl. That's what's nice about herping, as long as it's safe, it's mostly a personal preference as to what you can use.

This post cracked me up. I'm not sure if it was in a good way or a bad way.

Arsinoe, you remind me of a woman who I saw at a reptile show... She was carrying a BP around her neck and talking to it... Pointing to other snakes and saying "Look, you look just like him! Do you want to say hi? Go ahead! There you go..."
