Bill, my reply was from results of decades of snake keeping. So you saying, in some cases, has little meaning to me.



The truth is, I rarely introduce snakes from other collections, and never unhealthy individuals to my collection.



I have trust with wild caughts, but those dang captives cannot be trusted.



Again the point is, decades of casual(as you called it) has not resulted in any problems. Just telling it like it is.



What I think is missing here is, many do not understand the effects of 45 years of continued keeping of kingsnakes. What it means is, you have plenty of time to try all manner of things instead of believing whatever is told to you.



Another point is, I am not against folks using whatever they want, you can and should do whatever blows your shorts up. But, these forums are suppose to include other options as well, as in my experiences. And yes, I do not feel its important to disinfect water bowls. Now if I had a desease with my snakes, then sure, I would disinfect the water bowls. Again for some reason, my snakes do not need all manner of mans junk to maintain health and reproductive success.Cheers
