>>Just curious,
>>
>>I recent article on the care and feeding of cornsnakes in a popular reptile magazine suggested that the water be changed out daily. I also have a book of reptile published in Germany that states changing intervals of "at least once a day" (implying that some people change it several times a day?)
>>
>>That said, I have several of the popular manuals (ie: Soderberg, Love, etc) that seem to dictate more common sense practices such as "every few days, but always when it looks dirty".
>>
>>Lets state up front that we assume everyone changes the water immediately that has been pooped in or is otherwise filled with debris.
>>
>>How often do you change the water in your cages? How many cages do you maintain?
I check my enclosures every couple of days and change water as needed.
I do not change the water every day.
I keep extra water dishes of each size so I can switch them out as needed.
Switch them out, wash them and have them ready to go.
Tanks and/or tubs... around 70.
