Default What do you use?

Expecting a hatch of new cornsnakes at end of month (first lot). I have a rack set up with tubs and heat cable running under one end of the tubs set on thermostat. My only question is what on earth do I use as small water bowls for the hatchlings? I was thinking plastic milk bottle tops but maybe they are too small and not heavy enough not to get spilt. \what do you experience breeders do?
Thanks

haven't had hatchling snakes yet but we use milk bottle tops and coke bottle tops as water bowls for hatchling nice and small and no chance of drowning

Small ceramic bowls, you can buy the hamster bowls but that's quite costly if you have alot of hatchlings. I used to use ramekins from cook shops.

Even some small jars, like the top ones on sizzle and stir

we use everything from rammekins (sp?), small pet bowls, lids.

Sami also found some small plastic dish type things on ebay, only tiny but only a few pence each (literally)
