just out of interest how big and deep are peoples water bowls.

both midnight and lightnings are big a deep enough for them to get completly in twice.

and the little worm named hero has the smallest hamster bowl you can find but can still completly submerge in it.

both the corns have had good sheds and hero is yet to shed with me. they do go in them and all drink alot.

do you think there is any link in them have a good size water bowl and good sheds?


discuss :)

Ara and Ginn both have those rocky looking reptile dishes of different sizes. They can both get into theirs and have a good ol' soak if they want...or hide under it as is the case with Ara. Both are good shedders but Ginn certainly has a daily bath, Ara just slithers around like a teenage boy and may take a dip once a week if that.

Thats mine :p says rabbit on the sides lol None of my adults can get it in fully, only dip parts of themselves in and they have always shed perfectly so no, I don't think there is a link really between big water bowls and good sheds :P probably does help those with bad ones though.

they are both about 2 inches hi, and noether of mine burrowed so they do not have over 1/2 and inch of aspen so it doesnt tend to go in, i change it daily most if the time any way :)

They've all just got small ceramic hamster bowls. Mine have no need to soak as they're all good shedders. I also find giving them a larger bowl simply means a bigger target to throw substrate in haha!

8 has just been upgraded from a hammy bowl to a small rabbit bowl! jinx has inhertited the hammy bowl although it was soaked in boiling water before hand! i rember when i was studining at college the snakes didn't have big bowls are first and 8's dad had bad sheds once he was given a big water bowl he could soak in he shed fine so there could be a link.
