Nasty Water Bowl
I have a waterbowl that is looking like it has some sort of chemical inside it. The water has a rainbow effect reflection in the light. I haven't seen my snake bath in it at all. I am just worried that something inside the tank or in the atmosphere is affecting the water. My other snake has a small waterbowl that I have to constantly refill and I haven't seen the same issue with it's. I am just a little worried about my snake drinking from this waterbowl.
I don't know if I have to clean the bowl more often, clean the cage more often, or what. The only new things that I have added to my room was a propane heater because the house's heater was down on 5 degree nights. I am going to do a full scrub-down tomorrow on both of my snake cages because it is getting time to do them. Maybe after that, I can calm down and see the results after cleaning the bowl. But if anyone would like to offer some suggestions on what might be causing the discoloration, please do.

Re: Nasty Water Bowl
You ran a propane heater indoors?
People died here doing that a few weeks ago. Not a smart thing to do. CO is deadly.

Re: Nasty Water Bowl
The windows were open so air could escape. I made sure it was away from anything that could catch flame. It will be the last time that heater we are going to use will be back in my room. It was the only thing that could give my room heat.

My snake has two mountain-slab rocks, a bunch of small round rocks, aspen bedding, fake flowers and leaves, a stick, a lego-tower, and some fake insects (plastic).. All of these are not new.

Re: Nasty Water Bowl
Rainbow effects are caused by oils, they can be anything from organic oils coming from the snake itself, or its food, faeces, or they could be of a more sinister nature, but its unlikley unless you are particuly careless with what you use around your enclosures. wash the bowl with very hot water and a little detergent, and rinse well with more hot water, and then let it dry, it'll be fine.
and seriously...you are better off being cold, than risking Carbon Monoxide poisoning, its a silent killer, you will not know it is happening until its far too late to do anything about it. put lots of layers on and get into bed if you dont have any heating, you will warm up
