Pennies in water bowl

[Neal]

I wouldn't mess with it personally. I spot clean bowls as needed throughout the week and every bowl, even if I cleaned it the previous day, gets a good scrub out on Sunday. I've never had any slime issues. I do get a bit of mineral buildup over time so bowls get a soak in vinegar about once every year to make them like new again.

Yea I was only curious after I saw that bowl for water, then I was speaking to another breeder awhile back and he mentioned it. So I was wondering if any others do this. I'm putting a bird bath in the back yard and I was going to put a few pennies in it to keep algae and stuff. But I'm likely not going to mess with it.

I generally change my snakes water out once or twice a week. I clean it with the chlorhexidine then rinse under warm water.
