|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: sydney | | | | Fay PM me, I have a mate who sells ceramic glazed ramikins to me as seconds, even though they arent, but does for me on the sly for like 50c each no matter the size, or numbers.
Or even give you my mates number, as he is a plastics salesman for disposable food containers and bags. |

|  | Subscriber | Join Date: Nov-05 Location: sydney | | | | Yep thats them solar, they are great bowls, alot better than most pet specific bowls. I used to use chinese containers, as wokka does, although I have found it cheap and easy enough to have 2 sets of these bowls, having the spare set residing in a covered tub of F10 solution, and on a set day swap all the bowls out from the cages for new dis-infected bowls, which in the long run is the same, if not better than disposables i have found, as the chinese container were often spilled. |

| | | I use Thai containers, (small salad containers). They are round and same height as chinese containers, but i cut a hole in the top of the lid leaving a 1cm lip around the edge so the snake still gets in has a drink but stops spillages when opening and closing tubs 
Probably a hassle for some people but i find it easy. |
