    A lot of people use plastic/ceramic dog or cat food bowls. They're available in many sizes, durable, easy to clean, and difficult for a snake to tip over.

    I have tried many plastic ones and my snakes find a way to spill all of them.

    If you are using newsprint or the like plastic ones like I use work fine very few spills here but if you use aspen or other substrates they do tend to tip. I get mine at every things a buck. I'll include a pic of them. I've seen people glue PVC pipe couplings in the tub and use deli cups to hold the water. That seems to stop the mess but I like a bigger bowl for soaking and humidity.

    Repti-rock, size L. Petco. $16
    I know, a little pricey. This thing will never, ever be tipped over.
    Looks like grey rock which is why I went that route.
    It's a snake, not a kitty or puppy! lol

    I use the plastic crock bowls. Light wright and stackable. With the snake collection growing, it makes it easier for me on cleaning day.

    I use the PVC coupler/plastic deli cup method. I haven't had a spill in over a year. I got the idea from Justin Kobylka's youtube channel and it's worked really well. plenty of threads on the subject, but here's the only one I could recall off the top of my head:

    Same here. I only have one big female that knows how to get hers spilled, but it's rare. When they go into a shed we replace it with a jumbo plastic dog bowl in case they want to soak...

    I use plastic and ceramic cat and dog food bowls. My preference is whatever dollar tree has at the time in there. I also get random things to use as hide boxes from there.
