if you have double the tubs you can silicone a piece of pvc pipe into the tub itself then just place the disposable cups in that at least as high as a 16 0z container seeing as how they are the same diameter (I used to be a deliman)

BUT REMEMBER YOU MUST LEAVE THE SNAKE OUT OF ITS ENCLOSURE FOR A BARE MINIMUM OF 24 HOURS 48 HOURS IDEAL TO GIVE THE VAPORS TIME TO PASS AND THE SILICONE TIME TO SET USE AQUARIUM SILICONE ITS "USUALLY" NON TOXIC BUT STILL GIVE AT LEAST 24 HOURS WITH THE COVER OFF

Actually there is no need for silicone. You can get a 4" PVC coupler at Home Depot for about $1 and the 16 oz. cups fit perfect. I've never had a tip over in the 10 years I've been using them. It's much better to be able to remove everything form the tubs if needed.

I use 4" PVC couplers, The deli cups sit right inside. You can also just use 4" pvc pipe and cut it to whatever length you need The deli cups just nest right inside. Nothing is fool proof but it's very rare that I get any tipped over.

... there is a minor problem with using the PVC pipes - they are not very heavy and although they don't tip over - I've had the snakes drag them around the cage and shlosh half the cup out. I prefer using heavy crocks - they are more expensive but keep the cage quite a bit dryer. Either will work just fine tho - but if you use the pipe then you might want to make sure you don't fill your cups too high.
