    Ceramic. Tipping issues, and less trash created than disposable plastic cups.

    I can't believe how much waste some people make just watering their snakes, I'd thing a big collection would be a reason to NOT use disposable cups.

    I don't have a large collection (only 10 snakes), so I prefer the ceramic. They're easy to keep clean, heavier, tipless, and much more sanitary. Unless you use the throwaway deli cup system, plastic is more likely to harbor bacteria, IMO.

    Can you post a pic of this setup? With my collection growing quicker by the month...I am getting tired of cleaning ceramic bowls already.
