I was looking at some ebay auctions and came accross this:

Thats freaking gross. And he has been using it! :cry:
 
He has probably NEVER cleaned it. Thats disgusting, I wouldn't drink from it. I have a few of those bowls and they are cream on the bottom.
 
I would put it in the bin! Its a waterbowl for goodness sake, an inexpensive second hand waterbowl?! Who the hell is going to buy it.
 
O M G ! ! !

:puke01:
It should be the same color as the outside! :eek1:

If an object that's suppose to hold clean, fresh water looks like that, I'm afraid to even phantom what the accompanying cage looks like!!!! :nope: :eek:
 
It could be from water deposits. That being the cast I still think it's best put in the trash.
 
I have that exact water bowl. But I clean mine daily with an old toothbrush, because otherwise it gets things growing in it. Just like that one.
 
Eesh, that is disgusting! I've used those bowls for my snakes when they were smaller and I've never seen anything like that before.

Straight in the bin for that - provided it's somehow managed to set foot in my house in the first place ;)
 
It almost looks like the alge that grows on the fish tank lids when I use the powerhead. (IE bubbles splash the water up onto the glass on the lids and with the lights on then after a week poof... nasty alge that needs to be scrubbed of really well. On reason I stopped using the powerheads unless it's temp because of a filter failure.

Definately NOT hard water deposits though - that would be yellow and/or white (we get that quite a bit here in the fish tanks and in the water bowls which is why we wash them frequently.)

I'd have thrown that thing out LONG before it looked like that. That's just gross... Poor snake.

Looks like they tried to cook eggs in it over too much heat. Everybody knows that when you cook eggs in a stone water dish you use a LOW flame, geez. :grin01:

I think the owner used it for an ashtray. Please keep me posted as to if someone actually buys it.

(But, since someone paid for an 'air' guitar, it wouldn't surprise me!)
 
I have the same water dish. I clean it out every 3 days and I do notice a slimy film on the bottom of the bowl..... I guess thats what happens when you don't clean that slime for about a year.
 
^^I also feel a slimy type of surface when giving the bowl a quick rub under hot water, I just don't understand why someone would never even bother cleaning a water bowl of all things.. :/

I cant believe that someone would even try and sell it in that condition.
