    Changing water
    Because its a hobby to have some snakes we tend to change the water in the bowl every other day.
    How often does a big breeder change the water? I think its a hell of a job to change 500+ water bowls every other day.

    I use those little clear plastic deli cups. I know I personally change water bowls out every other week *unless someone poo'ed or threw some urates in there - then it get changed out right then and there.
    I worked for Peter Kahl for a few months and that is how he does his water bowl cleaning too, but they break it down like: adult females & males one week, 06/07 holdbacks the next week. So you don't kill yourself cleaning well over 500+ snake tubs & water bowls out every other day.

    I change the water and clean the bowl once a week. Unless it's been soiled or something then I change right away.

    I only have three snakes, but I change their water every other day because I also change out water bottles on my rats and mice that often. I guess it's the old mammal keeper in me that makes sure all my animals have fresh water all the time, even if it's not every single day.

    I water and clean the water bowls once a week. For me its on feeding day too. I use the little food/water dishes I think they came from walmart. The plastic crock type things. They are about 4 1/2 inches wide or so.
