Fresh water
So, do anyone else's animals rush for the fresh water like mine do? A while ago there was a post i read about keeping the water fresh, because some snakes won't drake stale, or old water which may have algea growing in it. Since that post, i've been doing fresh water daily...or at least every other day because sometime i do work too much and i don't get to it until the next evening. I have three snakes especially that as soon as that water is changed, they slither over as fast as they can and get a drink. It's ADORABLE. Totally makes me feel guilty for when i miss a day, and for those snakes i actually do try to do every single day. (Most of the others are still on their UTH's and haven't moved, so i know they didn't drink.)
Anyway, I dump the water, wipe out the bowl, and put fresh (bottled...did you know snakes can't have salt? So we don't give them softened water) water in. Last night i spent a long time doing some husbandry, and took my time handling most everyone and giving water, and then i got to see the rush to the water bowls *lol* perfectly reasonable, but it's just so silly and cute!
I mean it's not like they don't have perfect stats and are like, dying of thirst...they just love the fresh stuff. It's never really a long drink, they just like it. Does anyone else notice a rush to the water bowl?
14 snakes, 12 bugs, 1 skink, 1 frog, 2 dogs, and tons of fresh and saltwater fish. I've also begun snake rescue. What a ride!
