    Re: How often do you change the drinking water?

    Change mine on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I dishwash all my bowls every weekend.

    I change mine every other day unless they make a mess in it.

    Once a week, no more then that. I swap the deli cup for a fresh one and wash the old one.

    Re: How often do you change the drinking water?

    Yup, once a week here as well. Dishes get a good scrub then too. Of course, I check every day and top off when needed.

    I think that once you get above 4-5 snakes, changing water every day becomes an extra chore that isn't really necessary.

    I change the water every three days and scrub out the bowl. I change it earlier if the snake makes a mess in the water.

    You really dont have to do it on a daily basis...only if it has fecal matter...me personally i change it every 3 days (If it doesnt have fecal matter)...You also need to clean it disinfected at least once a week...

    I check daily, top off as needed, but bowls get scrubbed once a week.
