HELIME Ceramic Reptile Food Dish, Small, 2.75 in (7 cm), white, anti-escape

This small reptile food dish measures 2.75 in (7 cm) across and 0.78 in (2 cm) tall, and the pack contains two of them in bright white ceramic. The inward-curved walls make it difficult for mealworms to get out, which suits the keeper feeding worm prey to a small or medium-sized reptile or amphibian. Each dish is made of high-density ceramic.

What this small dish suits and what it does not

HELIME lists lizards, geckos, crickets, leopard geckos, dubia roaches, bearded dragons, chameleons, corn snakes and iguanas among the animals this dish is suitable for, along with small mammals such as guinea pigs. The small size is aimed at small to medium-sized reptiles and amphibians.

It is built for worm food such as superworms, mealworms and cockroach larvae. Check the footprint before you buy: at 2.75 in (7 cm) across, the small dish covers a footprint of about 6.9 x 6.9 cm, so measure the spot in the terrarium where it will sit and compare that with the dish. Keepers of a large adult animal may need the 3.93 in (10 cm) or 5 in (12.7 cm) size instead.

Three sizes in the HELIME range

The dish comes in three size choices: Small, Large and XLarge. The small version in this pack is 2.75 in (7 cm) wide and 0.78 in (2 cm) high, the large one measures 3.93 in (10 cm) by 1.18 in (3 cm), and the XLarge dish is 5 in (12.7 cm) across and 1.5 in (4 cm) tall. All three are listed in the same white finish, so a keeper can match sizes across several enclosures.

What the pack contains

• Two white ceramic dishes in the small size
• Each dish measures 2.75 in (7 cm) in diameter and 0.78 in (2 cm) in height
• Both are listed as the reptile worm dish

How the dish is built for live food

The walls curve inward, and HELIME states that this shape makes it difficult for mealworms to escape. The same smooth surface and the height of the dish are given as what helps prevent escaping and spilling.

High-density ceramic gives the dish its solid build, and the nonporous, smooth surface is the finish HELIME describes. The dish is white, so live food stands out against the sides when you check on it.
