Best water bowl ever!

[RepGurl]

So I was milling around Wal-mart the other day looking for random things that might serve some type of purpose in a my gecko or dragon tanks and guess what I discovered! They sell these thick glass ash trays for $.98 each and they are the perfect shape for a leo water bowl. They are thick and kinda heavy so they wont tip over and the edge is not so high that it is hard to get into, but high enough to hold a good amount of water. I would think they would also work good for a meal/wax worm dish. I was so excited. Anyone looking for a better water bowl for their leos might want to check 'em out. I wonder if the cashiers ever wonder when I buy 6 ash trays, 4 rolls of shelf liner, and 5 or 6 packs of gladware? He he

lol, lots of people on here use them. They are great for food bowls too!

Oh and we've checked out of walmart with like 20 of those things!

Haha, I do the same thing--I'm always peering at tupperware, plant pots, pretty much any containers I come across in stores, wondering, "Hmm, could I use this in a gecko house?"

I've thought to look at the candle holders at Wal-Mart and didn't see anything good--I've apparently overlooked these gems you guys are mentioning...pics, please! Or, what section of the store are ashtrays in?

do leos like lying in water? or is it just something they do for fun?

They are in the area with kitchen stuff. Next to cutting boards and cooking tools. I dont think I could get a god pic cause they are completely clear glass. One of my leos like to lay in his water, the others I never see do it. They prefer their humid hides when they need help shedding.

Ok, next to kitchen stuff--gotcha! Thanks so much!

It could be that they're too hot when they always dip themselves in the water.

Sometimes when they are shedding, they will get in there and soak!!
So I always make sure it's big enough but not deep.

 

[Bling_my_leo]

I would use these ash trys, but I think they make my leos tank setup look weird. Plus, I think they are to big and bulky...

But that's just what I think.

i have been using a mini bowl thing for my leos water for a while now but they tip it over so i should proably try those ash trays. great idea

Is there a pic of one on the Walmart website?
I went there and couldnt find it! :main_huh:

I dont want to go there in person, I HATE shopping!! :main_thumbsdown:

 

[RepGurl]

I will try and take a pic of one for you tonight. They are just plane clean glass ash trays. I just went back and bought 10 more the other day, the checkout lady lookd at me a little strange so I had to pipe up with "Yea I dont even smoke" and left it at that.

LOL! I'm not sure I remember what a normal glass ashtrays looks like! :main_laugh:
If you could get a pic, that would be great.

Haha, priceless!

 

[RepGurl]

OK here are some pics, hope you can find them now.

 

[Kelentari]

Cool! Thanks for the pics, Gurl!

 

[jbodkin]

$.99 ... Man those things are $1.99 at my store ... Hmmmm

 

[Kelentari]

Yah, that's what I ran into as well, but I figured it's still better than $4.99 for a dish at the pet store!
