Water Bowl Exo Terra M 12.5 x 13 x 4 cm — reptile/amphibian enclosure accessory

Exo Terra water bowl M (12.5 x 13 x 4 cm) is a compact enclosure accessory designed for reptiles and amphibians. The shallow, low-profile design provides a stable source of drinking water and a modest bathing area suitable for medium-sized terrarium inhabitants. Its dimensions and flat base make it suitable for placement directly on substrate or flush against terrarium walls, allowing easy access for animals and straightforward cleaning by the keeper.

Advantages

The bowl is constructed to remain stable on a variety of substrates, reducing the risk of tipping. Its shallow depth supports both drinking and brief soaking without creating a deep water hazard for smaller species. The smooth surface simplifies rinsing and disinfection, and the compact footprint saves space within medium terrariums. The neutral shape allows placement against walls or under decor to adapt to different enclosure layouts.

Suitable for

• Medium-sized reptiles such as bearded dragons, small monitor species and adult geckos
• Amphibians that require shallow bathing areas, including many frog and toad species
• Placement on substrate, terrarium floor or mounted near hides and basking spots
• Temporary water dish during cleaning or enclosure maintenance

Key specifications

• Overall dimensions: approximately 12.5 x 13 x 4 cm (length x width x height)
• Shallow bowl profile for easy access and minimal water depth
• Flat, stable base suitable for placement on loose substrate or solid flooring
• Compact footprint designed for medium terrarium setups
• Smooth interior surface for easier cleaning and hygiene maintenance

How to use

Place the water bowl on a level area of the terrarium substrate or against the enclosure wall where animals can easily reach it. Fill with fresh, dechlorinated water and replace regularly according to the species' needs and enclosure humidity levels. For amphibians that soak, ensure water depth is appropriate for the species and that the animal can easily enter and exit the dish. Clean the bowl frequently using reptile-safe cleaning agents or hot water and a scrubber, and rinse thoroughly before refilling.

Usage recommendations

Monitor water cleanliness daily and change water at least once per day for drinking bowls; amphibian soak areas may require more frequent changes. Position the bowl away from heavy substrate disturbance or feeding areas to reduce contamination. For species that climb or dig, consider weighting the bowl slightly or situating it against the terrarium wall to improve stability.
