How often do you change the water?

[Bartman]

When it dries out or dirty.

Tony : you change the water once or twice a day? Slow down man, what kind of pills do you have over there?

We are gone for 3 days at a time, at times, and none of the water gets cleaned or topped off in that time. Sometimes it takes me more than a day to tend to everyone when I get back.

Sometimes the snakes go a few days with dirty water because of this. They know enough not to drink it, and if they don't, it's time to learn I'd say.

I used to have tiny dishes for the babies, but in winter, they dry out every 2 days or so. So I got bigger dishes.

Snakes with out water, or with dirty water, for long periods is bad. But for the person thinking of getting a snake and reading this - you don't really have to change the water every day, and definitely not twice a day,that is a tad on the "anal" side.

A topped off water dish can last a week or more if it has too.

LOL.....its twice only if the boid decides clean water means toilet time in the water dish. Otherwise they enjoy daily water changes. I even notice for the most part they go for a drink right after I move onto the next cage. I hate drinking warm water or soda, and I think these guys love fresh cool water.

Cya...

i change it when needed. either when it dries out or gets dirty, but i clean every water dish and change water 1-2 times a week.

I give my IJ a martini shaken not stirred and a pinkie instead of an olive on wednesdays and alka seltzer on thursday but the rest get water every couple days unless the water is dirty/ level is low.

I'll clean it anytime it gets dirty or once a week. Whichever comes first... my ball has never used his water dish for a toilet though. But I know it's a common enough thing overall

Leos get water every other day due to small dishes that dry out a lot faster.

I got these great containers at walmart for my snakes water bowls, they are like rubbermaid except cheaper and they have a divider in them - I use them for my jungle corns because they like to poo in their water - so now they poo in one side and drink from the other - it works great!

Im kinda somewhere in between. I try to change their H2O about twice a week or more often if it's dirty.

[wetlander]

I change when it dries out, but that is every 2-3 days since the water dishes are large and shallow ( I use glazed 10" pot saucers). I like the fast evaporation rate as it adds humidity to the cages

[Tamizan]

I change it everyday

[wiseman001]

Every Other day.... usually. or every third day....

but atleast 2 times a week

[Rikki]

Daily, they diserve fresh water

[ATBlover]

I change it every 2 days...or if they deficate in it....also it depends where your water dish is..under the heat lamp..above the heat pad or on the cool end....it evaporates in 5 days on the cool end so i dont need to change it every day...Connor

I voted "when it's dirty" but if it doesn't look dirty, I still change it every week.
