 DIY "Water basin/bowl"?

I was just thinking that you could probably make a big water bowl by using styrofoam and cement. I’m into aquariums , and you can make your own 3D backgrounds with that, and its fish-safe. So I might take a stab at doing a cool water basin-type one for on the floor of the iguana and snake cages. Anyone ever tried this?

Keep in mind that you have to keep it clean and wash it out regularly. I use a Rubbermaid. The aesthetics are for your pleasure, not the animal’s. If you’re concerned about the snakes health, then the very best you can do for it is to place it in a Rubbermaid, with the proper heating and humidity controls. If display is more important, then what you propose sounds nice. What I may do is set it up so you can insert the plastic reservoir inside the earthen mount. That way you can have the best of both worlds.
