What do you use for water bowls?
As I have 60 tubs...I am finding it hard to buy enough.

Fay I had the same problem so I just bought 120 small white bowls from a kitchen place. They are the mini ramikins and are 7.5 cm in diamtere. Perfect size for the hatchling racks.

I got about 40 little ceramic bowls from vinnies, just the right size. Cheeeeap!
Reverse Garbage at Marrickville is good for little hide boxes as well.

check out www.petersofkensington.com.au they have a 6 pack of those 7.5cm ramekins for about $8 and they deliver to anywhere in Australia. I use them and they are great (and dishwasher safe!)

cheers,
Lockie

We use chinese food containers. Big enough for a swim and small enough to throw away which aids disease control. About $40 for 500.

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.

For hatchies you could use petri dish lids. I have just got hold of a couple of hundred (sorry I'll be using them) for free They are just the right size for hatchies. Otherwise, like Wokka, I use chinese food containers.

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.

Try the Reject shop where the plastics live....there's a 10 pack of sturdy good size containers for $5.00
one larger container with 9 littlens inside...not bad value!!
