    Pipette Watering?

    I saw a video of a puff adder drinking water from a pipette to keep it hydrated and wondered if it would benefit my BP.... so I tried it. I got a little bitty pipette and filled it up with some water and dribbled a little bit of water on my BP's chin, and he put his mouth on it and drank(very cute.)

    Anyway, I was wondering if this would be beneficial to do every now and them to keep him hydrated?

    Please respond, thanks.

    Re: Pipette Watering?

    Some animals don't drink from standing water, so water bowls, as we typically use them, don't help those animals much. Ball pythons don't fall into that category though. So long as you keep a bowl of fresh water available at all times and keep the humidity within acceptable levels your ball python should stay properly hydrated.
