Love the pics. That is one huge clay saucer, if that's what it is. I don't believe I have seen one that big. How many do they break stepping into them

* It is a clay saucer. They are at Lowes and sealed with a clear coat. They never broke one yet, this is the biggest i could find. If you get the ones that are not coated, major issues with cleaning!

I am surprised they haven't borken one. Hope I didnt jinx it. I have a couple of the ones that aren't coated, they are hard to clean, unless done often and with a wire scrubbie. I do want to replace them, but haven't found any. I will have to try Lowes. I don't remember where I got the one that I do have. My leopards would probably think I bought them a swimming pool if I got that large one

* Get the ones with that are glazed and/or coated, we have had the others also and what a PITA!

* I was cleaning the cactus today and noticed that many that were broken in half were growing just fine, even several that were smaller pieces had new growth! FYI

But you still can't grow them fast enough I think......

* Honestly, we primarily use the ones around our perimeter for hatchlings!
