    Re: Can Ceramic/heavy bowls be potentially dangerous?

    But this whole thing is making me wonder if I should go plastic bowls instead of ceramic. Would ramp style plastic dishes still be prone to being flipped over? I've seen both plastic and ceramic/super heavy versions and was originally thinking of getting the heavier one for the sturdiness but this story is making me have second thoughts because of how heavy it is. The thing feels like a brick.
    Yeah, that's a tricky one. It would be nice to know what happened, but it's tough to ask. Maybe just say that you have a snake as well, and you were just curious with the best interest of your snake as your reason for asking?

    I know the bowls you're talking about, they are super heavy. I have no experience with them, so I can't comment on them. I use plastic dog food dishes, just cause they're light and there's no way it could injure the snakes. They get slid around a bit, but I have yet to have one tipped over. They will use them as hides as well if the dish has the handles on the side and the hollowed out sides, at least until they outgrow it. That's why I had to elevate my King's.
