I don't have pics but I use dog bowls as water bowls. The ones with the openings in the sides where the snakes can crawk ubder them to use as hides. They have three or four sizes to suit your needs. They have a good selection at PetSmart

That is all I use. They are the best! You have a cool side hide plus the waterbowl. What I also like to do is switch this hide to the warn side once the snake goes into shed. Have not had a bad shed since doing this.

Most of my snakes spend almost all of their time under these hides. Not bad for $4.

I use a bunch of different things as hides, but the thing my snake loves the most is none other than a CLEAN pizza box with a hole cut into it.

I'm not talking about the boxes you'd get from a take away where the cheese has melted and dripped all over, more like a pizza you buy from a store that comes wrapped in plastic, and THEN a box. Those boxes. Nice, dark, cosy.

The cheap way to go is cardboard boxes. I also use the waterbowls that Jimmy spoke of, but I got mine from BigLots! It's like an upscale dollar store. They were about $1 apiece for larger ones, and maybe .75 for small ones.
Thrift stores are great for nice water bowls, but I generally use cleaned butter and cream cheese tubs for smaller snakes.
