Water

Do I need to do anything special to the water I give to my pythons or is tap water fine?

Nope tap water is fine. The only time i would use filtered is if you have lots of chlorine added more than normal.

I give my snakes water from my Brita filter (activated carbon filter) Orlando City water has more chlorine than I feel comfortable giving to my snakes.

If the tap water wont kill you then it wont kill your snake. Keep in mind they survive in the wild on africa water

I water my snake from the water out of the fridge so it is fitered. I fill water bowels from the spray bottles every night refill the bottle and let it sit overnight to get to room temp and fill the bowels again the next evening.

I use bottled water mostly because that's what I drink. I'm an apartment dweller, so I have no clue where that water comes from and what condition the pipes are in.

Same here lol. At my complex, they used plastic pipes for both hot and cold water... that would be against Florida building code, so I don't really trust any of it lol.

Ideally, you should have it blessed by a Catholic Priest - preferably one who has a 4 year degree from an accredited college.

After the priest has blessed it, you can store it in a crystal chalice at room temperature. Make sure that the chalice is washed out with soap blessed by a gay episcopalian minster who has well-manicured fingernails. Pour the water into a bowl carved from virgin unicorn horn.

After that, make sure to securely stuff your snake in a plastic drawer made from food grade materials ensconced in a PVC rack that has been completely off gassed for a period no less than 16 months. Fill the plastic drawer with aspen shavings that were produced from trees in which no birds were allowed to nest or defecate and which had a phenolometer reading less than 0.15 ppm.

When feeding rats, stick a scrupulously clean anal thermometer up the rats rectum and warm to 94.35 degrees. Wash the rat with rosewater essence chased with a natural antibiotic spritz made up of the nectar of the blossoms of phallic elongatus cactus.

Dry the rat gently and then place it on a doily made from organic silkworms.

I think that about covers it. Feel free to drop me a PM if you are unclear on any of these guidelines.

Toodles,

Skip

Your manipulation of your bowels both fascinates and excites me.

Can we perchance get you to do a write up with pictures? I feel that a step by step illustration of how you fill your bowels would be of incalculable value.
