I use these. They come in everything from 12" to 30". This is one of the ones I use for my sulcata enclosure. Big enough for my 175 lb. guy! It is also 3" deep, which I like.
I use this style dog bowl, this particular one holds 3/4 gallons. It sometimes gets moved around but has never been turned over in the years of use by my adult sulcata(s).

I have a 50 lb sully. As well as few other large torts.
Went to Home Depot , got the black rubber things that go under a water heater to catch leaks. I embed them level with the ground for smaller torts & leave em above ground for bigger ones. Cheap , work great.

Hello and welcome.
I use 36x24x3" pizza dough tubs sunk into the ground.
Whatever you use, you'll need to dig out a shallow hole and sink the water container down into the ground a little bit.
Also, it sounds like you have more than one water bowl, and I'm hoping these two live in separate enclosures. Pairs don't work out very well.

I use the top of a garbage toter. Dig it down into the ground so the top edge is flush with the ground, then no tipping possible.
Those Tusco saucers also come in square, so you can put them in a corner.

I ordered one of the Tusco saucers today. I have two female box turtles. I have tried many things for their water area. Right now they have a ceramic bowl. I found it at a local garden shop. It is three inches deep but even though it is level with the surrounding terrain they have difficulty exiting because it is slippery. I placed rocks in it so they would have something to push against. But I think your Tusco saucer is a better idea. Also I have learned a lot from you. You have years of experience and you definitely have done years of research. I trust your opinion. Thank you Jennifer
