    Water Bowls

    Right now I'm using a home made water bowl made from a margarine container and even though he hasn't knocked it over yet, he's always crawling over it. I've been looking for some heavier ceramic water bowls with a wider base, but I am having a hard time finding them. Any suggestions on where to look?

    Re: Water Bowls

    I picked up some "skid stop" plastic water bowls found in the dog bowl section of any retailer. They have a wide enough base to make tip overs a thing of the past.
    Too many snakes to be declared "sane" as far as my friends are concerned....

    Walmart here, & cheap after any holiday. Great for hides. 4/$1

    I use Driftwood to snug it all up straight so it wont tip. And helps my hygrometers from tipping all over the place too.

    For my little guys I get white ceramic bowls from Target. All my big snakes have bowls from the 99 cents store.

    Re: Water Bowls

    I would check at discount stores like Ross and TJMaxx, as well as Good Will...they always have good dishes that work great for water bowls...

    The 99 cent or dollar stores are a good suggestion also...
