    Water Bowl
    My BP makes an oily slime in her water bowl and there will be bubbles.
    Of course I clean it regularly.
    Can any one tell me if this is from her peeing in the water dish ?
    Or is she swimming and do oils come from her scales ?
    Just wondering.....

    If they soak they can lose some oil from their scales in the water. My guess if it looks like its oily it is indeed skin oils but there is a chance that your snake has also urinated in the bowl too. Thats the importance of changing the water out regularly which I am glad to hear that you are doing so. If it is bubbly and slimey my guess is that it is urates...
