    Water Bowls?

    What do you perfer to use for a water bowl? What works for you?

    I am hunting a second water bowl and cant decide if I want another one of these heavy low sided rock looking bowls. It has to be something they cant tip over.

    I keep my snakes in racks so I just go to the dollar store and buy dog bowls. Those have been working pretty well for me so far.

    In the 3 tanks I still use I have 2 rock dishes and one plastic dixie cup for water bowls.

    I use square re-usable containters. They are wide enough so they dont tip over and hold a good amount of water.

    I have one of the ceramic bowls and my male pastel decided that he wanted to stuff all the paper towels that I was using into it today. My female seems to like getting her water all over the place lol. But they have never knocked them over.
