Do wonder why they do that? I know that when you give your snake a bath it sometimes stimulates them to go. Kellog is like Toby, only does it when he is being out and handled...but I am getting good at seeing the signs and 'catching'. From what I remember they do sort of wee...it comes out a bit like soft white crystal. You also get a lot of liquid when they do poo, not sure if that is regarded as wee or not. xxx

tbh some snakes spend a bit of time in their water bowls and they just end up going to the loo there aswell..
i think its just a case of keep checkin on it and changing as and when

Hm. I gather the concern here is not so much the aesthetics but the fact that after emptying himself this way he has no further supply of fresh water.

I was thinking that adding a smaller water bowl in addition to the one he uses as a toilet bowl might answer this need, but on the other hand it could make the viv too humid.
