I'm not sure what bin you're referring to- I actually prefer the "Exo-Terra Faunarium" type of temp. holding cage*, but that clear plastic will likely crack if you try to put a hole in it for a water bottle. You'd have to go thru the lid (knock a couple "teeth" out) & be sure to buy one that isn't super-tall. I'm sure you can make other things (bins) "work" as long as they're well-ventilated. Rodents breathe a LOT more than snakes- their metabolism is "on steroids".
*I raise rodents, & use these type plastic cages when I clean their lab cages, but they're never in there long enough to need water bottles. Only about an hour. And the first thing they ALL do is guzzle water when they're returned home.
Water bottle, my suggestion- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Happy-Hom...4?athbdg=L1200 (Pet stores will have similar ones too.)
Note- the longer tube curves inward- the Lixit ones are short & straight up & down-not ideal for this application.
Yes, a little substrate will keep the floor cleaner.![]()
