No question is a stupid question :P haha

First the least important- trolling is also when you know the answer to something but you're trying to get a reaction out of people, which is what the poll seemed to me to be designed to do, after all who doesn't provide water??? So I obviously TOTALLY disagree with you in regards to water. Will you please point me to any legitimate information regarding the lack of need for water that captive BPs apparently have? I am completely floored that someone thinks a water dish isn't a necessity.

Better yet "Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer."

It is a valid question as it can be done. I dont like it but you can keep BPs without water bowls. The OP was just wondering how many people really do it. If the humidity is proper and they are being fed on a regular basis then a water bowl is nice but not 100% required. Once again I do not agree with that as I do provide a water bowl but it is not needed for the snake to survive.

I guess "survival" vs "being alive AND healthy" are arguably different, however I am still not convinced that:

1. it is not very poor husbandry to not provide water
2. a BP can and will survive long-term without said water
3. a BP can and will maintain healthy hydration, digestion and stress levels without water provided
4. anyone can keep the humidity "proper" 24/7/365 yr after yr even if your statement is true

*Show me a 10 year old HEALTHY captive BP that has never had a water dish.*

Agree with everyone. I can't see not providing one as a acceptable practice.

If your just taking a poll here I would say the "Y's" have it!

The question was yes or no ..
There was no need for anyone's reason ..
its not about being lazy or anything like that ..
it was is do u or dont u ..

is it really necessary to put a water bowl in ur snakes tub ... a while back I seen someone saying they didnt use water bowl and I got to thinking y do I use them .. my humidity stays good all the time .. i spray down tubs 2 times a week and when I do this there is more then enough water build up on the side of the tub I spray on for the snake to take a drink ..

If I have a snake fasting then I will provide water 24/7 till it starts eating again

I was just asking a question on who does n who doesnt .. u can think what u want of me because I dont keep water bowls in my tubs ..
I used to but then I took them out to see what would happen and everything is still the same
