hi all,

was looking at water bowls for 8 as the one i had planed on using has been 'put somewhere safe' and one seems to know where it is, anyway do you think something like this would work well as both a hide and a water bowl?

It looks ok, but with 3 open sides would snakey not feel that it is totally secure in there?

Or you can do what I did for Kryten. Glue his water dish on top of his hide xD
To be fair, he's so small his water 'dish' is the top from a Crusha Bottle, and I was sick of him pouring aspen in it!

However, for waterbowls/hides, these are good: http://www.thepetexpress.co.uk/?p=2_4&pid=11588
My local use them for the hatchies, which are kept on kitchen roll, and they have no issue with it tipping over when they go under. I also have one that has done the rounds, it's currently in with Cat, and on Aspen they've never had an issues getting under without spilling :)

I'd be concerned about it getting lifted when the snakes under and water spilling. Nice idea though

It's good for small ones kept on aspen though, they make a little tunnel under. I've used one for a year with my various sized corns and have never had a spillage, despite them always using it as a hide :)

i use these (and others similar) from the pound shop:



its totally enclosed and I've never had problems with spillages, even with the biggest corns that hide under them :)

...and here it is in action - this is a 4.5' corn just settling in, he does eventually fit his whole body underneath.......
