    Strange substance in water bowl

    Last night when I went to change my water bowls and I noticed in one bowl there was something floating in the water - its hard to describe but it was like a cloudy film in a clump of sorts. I immediately thought OMG RI but I checked him over thoroughly and found no noisey breathing, no mucos around his mouth - what could this be.

    I change my water bowls every 2nd day. Could he have urininated in the bowl a little bit.

    I am just worried now about an RI - can someone help with this.

    As a side note: this is the snake that recently had the surgery but he looks fine and its been a month since the surgery. I'm wondering if it isn't something related to the surgery/shots he got because I remember last time he had a surgery I found this similar stuff in his water bowl once but never thought too much about it.

    Also, just wanted to mention that we have hard water and its treated with peroxide and salt - I rinse his bowls with this water but give him bottled water to drink - didn't know if this has something to do with it.
