Yep, anything that conducts heat well will be a good water dish material if humidity is a challenge. I typically find stainless steel pet dishes are easier to overturn than pyrex pie plates, casserole dishes, and such, so you might check it for tippy-ness.

ALSO, I just saw some cool new pet dishes from Rubbermaid at my Dollar Tree. They have non-skid feet, sloped sides, and best of all, ball-python entrance and exit doorways for going underneath. I can't find them on the Rubbermaid site, but i think I'll be stocking up on some and may be able to upload a pic after I get them. They are plastic, though, so not for use in enclosures where humidity tends to be too low unless you also have a humid hide or just use them as hide instead of water dish.
