I have no problem with being reminded about hydration problems, even if it is basic husbandry. I am more than capable of still screwing up basic husbandry. Hydration is a huge issue with captive snakes. (Another huge issue is underfeeding). I have raised several common colubrids from hatchling to adult without even giving them a water bowl. But, they are well fed and have lots of humind sphagnum moss to burrow into. Not just a handfull of moss in a cardboard box. I believe a well-hydrated area within the cage is more important than a water bowl for many species. Thanks. Good topic.
