I usually get the flat bottom ceramic bowls at the dollar store. Regardless, the adult BPs always find a way to tip them over. Nothing more frustrating then doing a cage clean and then having a soaking wet BP a few minutes later.

Contrary to popular belief if their needs are met BP will rarely soak so any water dish from 4 inches in diameter on up will do, your main issue is how easily this dish can or will be flipped.
I use this https://www.dollartree.com/Large-Pla...1932/index.pro ($1 each) and even my largest female (4000 grams) have never flipped those over.
And if they do want to soak (4000 grams female cooling during breeding), they can

I kept going larger for humidity. Mine don't soak either. The large bowl changed my humidity from 37 (1.5qt) to 62 (5 wt). I use paper substrate so misting only works for a couple hrs. I guess that girl of yours Deb has no problem getting what she needs hahaha

Re: Water bowl question
I use a 9.5 inch Pyrex pie dish (in winter) - the I have deep cypress bedding though, so the "lip" of the dish is flush with the cypress mulch. It's also big enough to help with humidity. Though in the 2.5 years I've have him he's never done more than drag his belly though it
In the summer I have a blue ceramic bowl from the dollar store that is a normal size soup /cereal bowl, maybe 6 inches diameter and an inch deep

 No cage is too large - nature is the best template - a snoot can't be booped too much

Re: Water bowl question
can you guys please show me or link what bowls you guys have? I feel like I need bigger bowl due to humidity. I guess bigger bowl can raise up the humidity. I don't think 5' will do much to humidity.

If you’re using a tank, I like the large Zoo Med corner bowls. Give it a Goggle. They’re on the heavy side, not easy to tip over.
