My exoterra dish does to  I give it a good scrub every 2-3 days as he hides under his water dish so don't move it too often! Must admit Vin get's bottled water, but that's only because here the water comes out rather cloudy and I'm a big worrier! x |

the cloudyness in the water is only air, if you have worries, run yourself a glass full, if you see the cloud floating up....its air, if it floats down, its calcium deposits
run the tap for a while, soon gets rid of the excess air in the pipes xx |

just another ps to this
tap water only has a shelf life of 3 days.....even if you keep a bottle of it in the fridge....so best to change pets water daily.....i dont think youd like to drink stale water....im sure they dont hahahaha
sorry........worked at thames water many years ago, funny what stupid facts you keep in ya memory |

| my exoterra slimmed up but since i changed to a ceramic bowl it has been fine. i was just wondering how many of your corns soak in the water bowls? i have seen mine drink but never go's in the water, just a little worried that when he comes round to shed that he might struggle. |

| Change mine every 1 to 2 days and use tap water. Often wonder why if it is clean as water in those water dispenser thingy's used in gymns and offices often hang arround for days and they are not sealed as bottled water is. Just a thought ho hum ! |

Nimbus always has a soak in his bowl 2 days before a shed but he never goes in it at any other time 
Oh apart from when he is trying to be clever and slither over the top of it but his middle falls in |

my corns never soak! my BRB sometimes does, my Royal will sort of slither through it but not stop lol! i bath them all in a large litter tray type tub before they shed. that seems to work |
