Water dishes don't require holes, I would think that you would want the water to stay in? Put the thermostat probe where the snake will be, those are the temps you're most interested in.

I use an "exacto-knife" to cut holes in lids and a soldering pencil to burn holes in the sides of bins.

Oh, by the way--use GladWare...those things are great. They stain or wear out, you toss them, but they last a long time. And the lids are MUCH easier to cut.

I use deli cups. I use a lighter and burn an appropriate sized hole in the center of the lid. This way the edges are well rounded, (not pretty though, the holes are never a perfect circle by any means and the edges are sometimes discoloured). For the side of bins, I use a soldering iron or a 4 mm ball burr.

ok thanks. for the probe i didn't know that everyone puts the probes in the bin because it is kind of a hassle to have to take the probe out every time i poull the bin out.
