Drinking fountain for Rainbow my Reticulated Python?

I was looking online and saw this.

I was thinking would be cool for my Reticulated python's cage. Has anyone else done something like this for their snakes? Thoughts appreciated.

Is this a bad idea?

lol no.

IMO yas.

and u would confine this to your Retic's enclosure? seems complex and more trouble than it's worth for a snake. for example, those fountains can be knocked over and all that spilled water can throw off your heat source/regulators, let alone who knows what the electrical components of the fountain will do. or u could have a fountain/filter full or poop and pee.

Edit: your Rainbow threads are getting funny, not funny, if u know what i mean.

I withdraw the question and will keep future questions to myself. I was not aware my questions were silly, unwelcomed, or annoying. Now I am.

Peace.

The problem with moving water features is snakes tend to relieve themselves in water. Fouled water features are a pain in the butt to clean and disinfect. Water bowls are the best for overall care. Waterfalls and water fountains not so much.

don't go away! i really wanna see Rainbow grow and have a good life. i do my share of helping noobs and peeps on the forum but i also do my share of teasing and i will call anyone out on something i think is wrong.

u made a big jump from BP's to an advance snake very quickly IMO. (even if u had Boa's or whatever previously) it's fair to ask good questions and there are plenty of peeps who can help u out here on the forum. but basic questions like can i handle my snake that i just fed and who is hiding? will get me shaking my head.

research, learn, seek good advice, share, enjoy, laugh, repeat.


Edit: also this is just my perspective. others may disagree.

That makes sense. I'm just trying to figure out a way to make her enclosure when she gets out of quarantine amazing and is natural responsible. You're right though. She already chose to pee in her water. That would have been much more difficult to clean if it was a situation with a water fountain involved.

Oh I don't scare that easy. I ask a lot of questions but I also learned a lot. The reason I ask a lot of questions is because people who have more experience than me he might know reasons why something might be bad or good or way to improve upon an idea. At the same time I don't want to be a nuisance. If you do not write a question I asked or bothered by a post I create, the choice is yours to read it or not or to respond or not. I spend a lot more time reading than I do posting. I know rainbow is a huge responsibility and that's even more of a reason to do more research. Even if I had several years and was very skilled at raising reticulated pythons, I'm sure they will bring you things to learn everyday.

Besides learning from other people's mistakes is way better than learning from your own.

Awesome! I always thought it would be neat to have a big room for the retic, something like a 10' x 20' display, maybe with a water feature on one side and a dry side on the other. Something like you mentioned above would be neat for a small retic but you would probably need something a bit bigger for a larger one, otherwise it might just get knocked over. I would love to some day have a setup something like this, maybe with a fountain at one end and some low branches to climb:

Yep. I know would be difficult to upkeep but how awesome would that be if was safe and practical. I know I would have to custom build anything that would even have a chance of working. He would also have to be heavy and very heavy. I'm looking at buying a four-bedroom house. To the rooms will be dedicated to my snakes. With the setup that big you would literally walk into the enclosure. A couple of challenges with that would be you would be on snakes territory at that point not your own.
