I get the disposable water bowls from superiorenterprise.com
Basically a deli cup with a hole in the lid for access. One advantage is if they do get tipped, they don't spill all their water. Also gives them more of a ledge to hang out on.

I use milk jug lids for small baby corns. It's not because I'm cheep - it's because my wife won't let me order any thing else for the snakes.....
It works well, and there are some spills but the smaller snakes use them just a easy as they would use the store bought stuff. I have used these for kings, corns and rat snakes. I tried it with pits and that seems to be the size limmit for the caps. For them I use 1" PVC end caps with flat bottoms. You do have to clean the water bowls but I have two sets of bowls for each tub in each rack and 2 kids that can wash them...

Heres What I do- I get styraphone cups and tops and i get a razor and cut litle holes about the size of a quater. They work really well and there cheap and give the snake security while sheding!
