No, no problems with tipping over. Pretty easy and simple. Sand boas CAN go a few days without water, but if you are using aspen or sani chips, why deprive them of it? Both of those substrates are very dry, and the added humidity will help their shed cycles without causing undo problems.

I dissagree with sand boas going weeks without water. I think you are taking too much of a risk. Mine are well fed, and if they go more than 2 days without water they all run to the water bowl (figuratively speaking of course). It has a lot to do with how humid the environment is. If your house has 85% humidity then the snakes can go longer without water...if its in the 30's then they can't last nearly as long. Common sense...you need a lot more water in the desert than you do in a jungle....even when the temperature is the same... (not all deserts are hot).
