So the go to for water dishes are usually bottle caps and tattoo ink pots.

What I have started using though is mens Sure deodorant caps (thoroughly washed and rinsed). I'm in the UK but they are a worldwide brand. They are called Degree in the US and has other names for other parts of the world.

They hold 30ml of water and lightweight. They also have a texture to the surface which sticks to hot glue well, makes them ideal for Arboreal setups.

I tend to use whatever I have left over, I really like the few remaining small mealworm cups that are about 3oz for adults. I often also use old medication bottle tops for large slings/juvenilles.

I like wider and open over deeper and narrow. I use the saucers for placing under flower pots as they ate cheap, many colors and designs and I can get them in nearly any size.

Ceramic is nice for a price $$$

Plastic is a Cheap Alternative

I use a lot of small ceramic from Daiso, and deep bottle caps or plastic golf tees for slings. My T. stirmi gets a ceramic pet bowl, one of my T albos has a peanut butter jar lid right now, and my juveniles or species that like to put garbage in the water have disposable gecko feeding cups (2 oz I believe).
