    Talking Water bowl ideas

    So for some time I have wanted to change the way I water my ball python in their racks.

    I have seen the PVC pipes used before and think this is the way to go.

    I have seen threads here before on this but can't seem to find one.

    I am looking for the size of PVC couplers used and also the oz. deli cups that go in them.

    Just wanted to see if someone can tell me what 2 sizes they use and what size deli cups go in the couplers.

    Just getting frustrated cleaning up
    Spilled water all the time. Lol.

    Thanks to all that reply.

    I wish I had seen this thread when I was looking for updating my water bowl dishes. It took me a while to find the white 4 inch pvc couplers. I made a couple trips to the plumbing sections of Home Depot, Lowe's, Orchard Supply. The only 4 inch couplers I could find were the black ABS plastic ones. I finally asked somebody at the store and they told me the white PVC couplers were out by the garden area of the store. Apparently the stuff I wanted was for the gutters and outdoor drainage. Just thought I'd put this out there in cyberspace to save anyone from making extra unnecessary trips.

    I use 4 inch wide 16 oz deli cups I bought locally from Smart and Final. I had looked at buying the cups online, but it was so much cheaper to go the local store.

    Wait... how does this work? The couplers don't have a bottom, right?
