    Tiny water dishes

    What do y’all use for water bowls in tiny hatchling tubs? I made a couple of bowls out of plastic vitamin bottles, but the snakes keep tipping them over!
    I think they are V70 tubs, quite narrow.

    (this was cheaper than amazon - walmart sometimes carries in store as well)

    Thanks, but the link is redirecting, asking me to login to biglots and not showing anything at all about bowls.

    well that is strange, I wasn't logged in when I grabbed the link. Search for "Anchor Hocking 1-Cup Glass Storage Set with Lids, 8-Piece"

    I use the Pier 1 - Porcelain Ramekin cups. They are small, inexpensive at $1.50 and don't spill. Perfect size for hatchling tubs.

    I've was using ramekins before, they also work really well. Sometimes you can find them at the dollar stores too

    Re: Tiny water dishes

    I use tea candle holders from Dollar General. A pack of 12 is $7. They are 2 inches across and 1.5 inches high, the bottom is pretty thick so they are stable, and they hold a nice amount of water but not so much that it will flood the tub if they do happen to get tipped.
