Water dishes...

Those zoo med repti-rock bowls are as good as it gets for sorta natural looking bowls. I personally use $4 melamine cat bowls in zebra or giraffe patterns from wal-mart. They are tip proof and have a no skid bottom.

for my hatchlings I have coming any day now I'm using yogurt cups. I cut them just above the halfway point, in half, then turned the top half upside down on the substrate, then set the bottom half inside the top half. Seems like it should be stable.

I use a clear glass pyrex dish in my girl's display enclosure. It's shallow enough that I can bury it up to the rim in the substrate, and it blends right in.

Most of those faux rock dishes are crud. The textured inside makes them impossible to get completely clean, so you have all kinds of bacteria growing in your snake's water, they're usually way too small for an adult snake, and it's not unheard of for the paint to start wearing off...

I had one of those faux rock dishes once, and between the paint washing off into the drinking water and the film of yuck that never came off (textured bottom, again), I finally threw it out and went back to the more "utilitarian" mini casserole dish.

I broke down and shelled out two bucks for a ceramic dog dish. Big enough for a soak, aint textured so you can clean it, and rock steady so it won't tip.

For hatchlings, $1 from Petco:

Easy to clean, hollow underside makes a nice hidey hole.
