Pet watering bowl Hagen Exo Terra Water Dish Medium, brown, monochromatic

Hagen Exo Terra Water Dish Medium is a medium-sized watering bowl designed for reptiles and small terrarium animals. The dish features a natural, rock-like exterior finish and a smooth, non-porous interior surface that is coated to resist bacteria and simplify cleaning. Its monochromatic brown tone integrates unobtrusively into desert, tropical and mixed terrarium layouts. Inside the bowl are molded safety steps that allow smaller reptiles, amphibians and insects to climb out, reducing the risk of drowning.

Advantages

The water dish combines a realistic appearance with practical hygiene features: a non-pitted interior finish that does not absorb moisture or harbor harmful bacteria, and a protective coating that makes surface cleaning fast and effective. Constructed from food-grade resin, the dish is stable and heavy enough to resist tipping by larger terrarium inhabitants. The neutral brown colour and rock texture provide visual integration with a wide range of habitat designs.

• Providing drinking water for small to medium reptiles

How to use

Place the Hagen Exo Terra Water Dish on a flat, stable area of the terrarium substrate or on a flat rock/platform to ensure stability. Fill with fresh, clean water and check daily; replace the water regularly to maintain hygiene. For soaking, provide shallow water levels suitable for the species and monitor animals while they are in the dish. Clean the dish periodically with warm water and a soft brush; avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the protective coating. Rinse thoroughly before refilling.

Usage recommendations

Position the dish away from direct heat sources such as strong heat lamps to prevent rapid evaporation. In bioactive setups, use the dish as a controlled water source and clean more frequently in heavily populated enclosures. For hatchlings and very small species, ensure water depth is shallow and that the internal steps are accessible.
