ball python always "playing" in water bowl...I am worried about scale rot

[Bogertophis]

Human stuff for snakes... My juvies right now all have glass bowls from IKEA. Lol.

My biggest male had his own ceramic dog bowl for a long while

I prefer heavy glass bowls for water for my snakes, & I sometimes find good ones (that won't tip- flat bottom & right size/depth) in thrift stores, but I also raid my own cupboards at times. For example, one of my large rat snakes has a large pale green (vintage "collectible") mixer bowl that I found but really wasn't using anyway. Whatever works, I say. Some "casserole" dishes work well too. Florists use glass bowls too, for arrangements, & the bowls end up in thrift stores or garage sales. No need to spend a fortune on water bowls for snakes- they're "everywhere" in all sizes.
