What a mess!

I swear, when I left for work at 1:00, this newspaper was clean and dry. I got home at around 9:00 and found this!:O

What a mess! They decided they liked it extra swampy? The paper was so wet that there was still water sloshing around when I took it out! :rolleyes:

A close up of the perpetrators, my het albino male Edamaru and his current girlfriend, Root. Don't they look guilty? Bad snakies! But I guess since they've been locking up like crazy, I'll forgive them this one time :P

Thats pretty crazy. Messiest I've seen! Thanks for sharing :gj:

That looks like an easy dish to flip...lol :)

Hey, are you insulting my ancient tupperware-type water bowl?? It's practically antique!:D Seriously, Root doesn't flip it (that I've seen), it's more she decides to try and stuff her entire body in it sometimes and the water goes everywhere!

damn thats pretty nasy lookin hahaha. but i could see it happenin, two snakes, if they both pass urates with a little liquid, could end up a lot more than a LITTLE liquid

A few of mine do that about once a week. I use the plastic pet dishes from walmart. Some of mine do mess with them, others dont. I think just so I have a mess to clean up. I have one male, everytime I clean his tub and give him fresh water. Soon as I put him back in his tub he tips his water over. Then I have to clean again.

I remove the water dish when my lovebirds are together - great tip from Kara so that they don't share the same water source - that way if one starts to develop an RI from the stress of breeding, you've eliminated one method of transmission and somewhat reduced the chances of both getting sick.

I still get tipped water dishes from my singletons all the time though. :D

Lovely looking couple there! Good luck with them!

Nope, not insulting.... LOL

Ug, that looks like my odd girls tub. Every other day she's made a swamp. And her dish is UNTIPPABLE how she makes this mess is beyond me but she'll have ALL the water out of her dish and a good inch in the bottom of her tub.
I believe she's a reincarnated water snake. Luckily she's sweet tempered so I can clean without loosing flesh unlike some of my others.

I've had dates like that. ;-)




Okay, I'm kidding.





Mostly.

Thats pretty crazy... My buddy one time had his snake poop in its tub and go through it about 100 times... there was crap on the walls, thermometer, hides, water bowl EVERYWHERE. Ive been lucky and havent gotten a mess THAT big

I have little ones that will do this weekly..... drives me crazy!! I never witness them putting any part of their body in the water bowl but it would be the only way to do it with the bowls I use.

Oh yeah.... one of my Albino het snows did that...... talk about a yucky looking snake.

How rude!

It is just bad manners to tip water dishes and eliminate when on a date.

Sometimes the most obvious things... I just assumed that all the kissing would be the culprit.

Eh, I am just an incurable romantic.
