Water bowl stability

[majorjames10]

Can someone please post pics of their water bowls? Trying to find right size and way to keep it from tilting over for my 9foot rtb. Thank you.

What type of enclosure do you have?

I feel you Major. My coastal carpet has been tipping his water bowl over a lot lately. My bull snake also needs a larger bowl to soak in. I think I'm going to try these.

Bowls that have a base that is wider than the top are very hard to tip even for heavier snakes. The only way they tip is if somebody gets underneath them and pushes up! These are usually marketed as dog bowls or dog feeding dishes.Lots of options and they are made of anything from metal to lightweight plastic and some have rubber at the base. Perhaps this would work for you?

I've got one of those fake rock looking water dishes in my tank and I haven't had any tipping issues. It is a pain in the butt to remove though because its heavy and hard to grab. Why do you guys go with other bowls and not use these?

Try using some 3" wide (circumference) pvc pipe siliconed to the bottom of the enclosure. Let it dry for 24 to 48 hrs. Once dried you can use plastic deli cups inside the pvc . Problem solved.
