Hi all, I recently ordered a big AP rack. It holds 24 Iris 375 tubs, which are similar in size to the Sterilite 15 qt. tubs.

Does anyone have a good suggestion for water bowls I can put in this size tub? I'd be looking for a type of bowl that would be good for ball pythons, or maybe a disposable deli cup/holder arrangement. Either way, it has to be the right size. These tubs are kind of weird size since they are between the shoe box and the sweater box.

Thanks in advance.

Ive had good luck with the "crock" style bowls you can get from walmart in the pet section.

REptile Basics also sells them and are even a little cheaper I think.

End caps for 4" PVC pipe work real well with deli cups as removable "liners" as water bowls. The caps can be screwed through the side or glued in place.

I do what Big T described above. You have to use the sewer "thin wall" type end caps as the normal 4" PVC end caps are rounded. They're usually next to the septic system/drainage tiling area at Home Depot, Menards, Lowes, etc... I've used them for my adults too and rarely have one get tipped over without securing them in any way.

Hey BigT, I got the PVC caps this weekend. What size deli cups fit them?

If you have the right ones they should fit a standard 4" deli cup.
