Question for thoes of you that remove water bowls for pairing... how do you make sure the snakes get their fulids.
That is if any of you guys do that

[LGL]

I remove the hides but leave the water bowl.

[reptidude1]

i say this because some people are worried about a snake giving another dormant diseases

[SNIKTTIME]

I would recommend keeping the water bowl in there. If your snakes happen to be sick they most likely won't breed anyway.

I keep the bowls. I don't see any reason why you'd want to remove them.

yea my snakes seem to drink just as often when breeding

Watched a RDR video on this subject last night..Ralph Davis reckons that he removes them simply to reduce the risk of cross contamination of any viral/bacterial infection by the snakes sharing drinking water..

yeah bruce that what i was getting at
now my question still remains- how will they get their moisture?

[shaunwithbite]

i was just going to ask the same question..

i am also having problem.. since i put them in a tub... when i put them together.. they always make a mess... wet paper etc..

right now.. i leave the water bowl.. but change the subtrate to aspen.. i was hoping it will absorb any water if they play around with it..

Guess that they have to wait til they are seperated again..dont think they need water daily..might be wrong though
