Has your snake (any kind) ever fished a f/t rodent out of a bowl of water?

Absolutely yes. Almost every one of mine has....The Bredli, which is a desert species seems to be a pro. Although there are watercourse areas in their habitat, they are not full year round.....This typically happens right after I change their waters out for fresh.

You have some talented snakes there! Isn't it odd that even some desert species are good at this? Maybe it has more to do with their overall skills & vision. It's like when you train some dogs, & put an item under something else, some catch on & search for it, but to others, it's just "gone". And I know exactly what you mean about them polluting their water bowls right after they've been changed. Mine do that too. Snakes!
