>>For some reason my rat snake likes to use her water bowl as her bathroom. Any suggestions to get her to stop? I guess potty training is out of the question.

>>Thank you!!



I have several snakes which always poop in the water, so I have two bowls for each snake. When they poop in the bowl, I have a clean one ready to use. It is better in some ways, than spot cleaning particulate substrate - it's cleaner anyway.
