I'm not sure what to do about water formy rosys. I've heard several different opinions from people. One guy told me not to give them water at all because I am feeding frozen thawed pinkies and they will give my rosys all the water they will need. Other people tell me to give them water overnight once a week, no less than 2 nights after they are fed and no less than 1 day before I feed them again. I have a friend with a python and she doesn't give him any water at all becasue she gives him a bath once a week. I guessher idea of a bath is a little tub of water that she puts him in for about 10 minutes or so. One of my rosys is shedding as well and some one told me not to feed him while he is shedding because he will not eat. Another person told me to give him water that he can lay in to help with the shed. I want to make them as comfortable as possible and I don't want the humidity to go up in the enclosure, so does anybody have a really good system they are using that could possibly help me out?

Just put a small water dish in on the cool side of the tank for 1 day a week. That will be fine.

Thank you very much. I was also wondering...I have been feedin them in their tanks, but since I've only had them for 2 weeks I've only fed them 3 times. Now people are telling me to feed them outside fo their tanks to keep them from associating my hand in their cage with food. Which kinda makes some sense. What do you think?
