Water dish

DeltaWoods Aug 04, 2003 07:00 PM

What do you guys use for a water dish in your ball python set ups besides for the ones available in petstores. Right now i have a exo-terra one that i got from a petstore and i dont like it that much. I am trying to find a new dish for my setup but not one of the rock kinds that you find in petstores. So if anyone could tell me some of their water dish ideas i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

There are plastic dog water bowl. I got two for my two dogs and it's still in a very good condition. It's been 5 years now.

Why waste your money on an exco-whatever water dish. I live in Canada and I go to Zellers (your equivalent would be a cross between Target and Wal-Mart) and buy a plastic food storage container, and NOT even rubbermaid, why spend $6-$10 on a water dish?, if it holds water, it's doing it's job. I would use a $10 water dish if it were holding champagne; that's it. Water for snakes in a rack system get a $1.49 no-name water dish.

I use a mug for my rat's water dish. Same idea: they can't tip it over. They also don't crap or pee in it like regular water dishes. The water dish remains very very clean with no poop in it when I use a mug that they cannot tip over.

cheers.
