My snake is 5ft long and I want a water bowl that is big enough for him to get into but I dont want it to take up half the viv space also without sounding tight I dont want to spend a fortune on something that I tend to hide with wood what could I use? The viv size is 36 by 18 by 20. If possible I would like ideas on something that is more long than round. Thanks

| you could get a dog bowl, they are good as they cannot be tipped over and hold water well, do not get an exo terra bowl as what is described on the other thread. |

I always buy lasagne bowls from wilkos for the big snakeys. Think you can get a massive one for about £4.
But like Reptiledanny says dog bowls would be alright if you'd prefer a round one  |

| This is exactly what I want as well! I have like a big dog bowl but it's not big enough and any that are big seems stupidly big and expensive. My snakie is a bit bigger than yours but Kazerlla's idea of a lasagne dish sounds perfect. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

I did try this with Kellog, with a ceramic dish that you put under a plant pot....but he didnt use it and it just took up too much space in his viv and made it look crowded, not enough room for him to snake around - and he is in a big viv! Hope your snake enjoys swimming more than Kellog did!

When I got Sizzle's dog bowl the girl at the checkout asked what breed of dog I had. You should have seen her face when I said it was for my snake lol |

| I got a big lasagne dish from asda for £3.50. If he uses it I will keep it in but it id going to take up a lot of viv space, if not he can keep his current dish. |

| Dont know if this will sound daft or not but here gose, If I put a big dish in the viv for him to swim in now that he is coming into shed, how do I keep the water warm for him and do I have another smaller bowl for his drinking water? |

I dont think it is a great idea to only give the snake warm water on offer to drink Hillzi....if you have a bowl over the water mat to raise the humidity you also need to add another bowl in the cool end so that there is normal water for it to drink.
