When i first got my pair of womas(Flamin ORange) i left a water bowl in there like any other python setup. They were covering the cage w urates. I like my snakes to be hydrated.....but they were like a 8 year little girl on a 5 hour road trip. Then i read about keeping a water bowl in there only on the weekends. This made since because they are a desert species. They find the water they drink it. This has to stress the kidneys. Since i started this they amount of food they eat has increased and the amount of unprinted newpaper has decreased. Cheers
