Cans that you buy food in are usually made of steel or steel with a combination of other metals . Cans that you buy soda and beer in are usually nade of aluminum . You can tell the difference by taking a magnet to them , the magnet won't stick to the aluminum can .
You can also tell if the aluminum has been treated by pouring tomatoe sauce on it and letting it sit . Don't belive it's true take some aluminum foil and line a bowl with in and pour a jar of spagetti sauce in it put it in your fridge for a week then check to see what happeded to the tin foil .
Most pots you would by at the store now that are made of aluminum are coated and treated . The pot he was usuing has been around for a long time and probably isn't ... my parents had them and I know I ruined my mothers by making spagetti sauce in it and putting it in the fridge ... it pitted.
If you want to leave your lizards only source of water in a pot that may pit and leave traces of aluminum that's up to you .But why take a chance when plastic bowls are so cheap and won't leach something that may be harmfull to your animal over time .
