What are the benefits of this snake bowl?

This snake bowl has a rough exterior that is designed to resemble the scales of a snake, this rough exterior is made from food-grade resin and is very easy for a snake to climb as it gives them plenty to grip onto. The bowl is also quite heavy so it is stable to avoid spilling water or being tipped. The depth of the bowl, 7.5cm, makes it best suited for smaller snakes, such as corn snakes.

How do I maintain a snake bowl?

After a snake has bathed in the snake bowl you should thoroughly clean it and get rid of the water as it will absorb harmful bacteria and dirt from the scales of your snake. As it is a resin bowl it is easily cleaned and you can simply replace the water to be used again. Snakes often also use snake bowls during a difficult shed cycle to help get rid of old scales, these should also be removed as waste from the bowl.
