Re: Deli cups and PVC holder for water bowl questions. Thank you!
Thank you so much! May I have a link or where did you buy them? Does water spills after you remove the rubber?
I'm thinking if my bowls now are too low so the substrate get inside easily.

I remove the rubber ring around the base, so they do slide around but I don't want muck and poo getting caught up in there.
Really like them.

I bought them at walmart in the dog bowl section. I removed the rubber before using and threw it away, the water doesn't spill usually when they are moved around (most of my snakes have flat paper/corrugated as bedding, atbs and colubrids have reptile prime substrate, yes the snakes can still push substrate into the bowl but that's the case with any dish).
They had 3 different sizes, I mostly use the medium size, it's not very shallow. The smallest one are rather shallow.
edit to add - haven't had any rust issues, I use a regular green/yellow sponge for normal cleans and steel wool if they need a good scrubbing.

I use some ramekins to hold disposable plastic deli cups. Not the greatest fit on what I ended up ordering, but they don't tip over.

Thank you so much! I'll go to Walmart to take a look! When you fill in water do you fill like 1/2 of the bowl? I wonder is it because I fill too much water lol

Thank you so much! It's amazing that ramekins don't spill! I thought they could easily spill! May I know how big ramekins do you use and what type of deli cups do you use? Thank you!
