| I'm not entirely sure corns need baths do they? The risk with putting a waterfall in is that it raises the humidity, and this can cause a risk of Respiratory Infections in corns, so I'd personally advise against it. They aren't rainforest snakes after all! |

| Also putting a waterfall in could potentially raise humidity which is not needed by corns. And if they wanted to bath they'd do it in the water bowl. |

| I know about the humidity level that's why it would be small nd place on the cool side of the viv to keep the levels right, also the idea was it would be used as a water bowl due to the water bowls being knocked over as both my corns are very playful, I think If I tile the 3d background using a grout and waterproof layer of non toxic cover having the waterfall built of the cool side of the vIv wall so no chance of them get behind it or stuck, |

| you also run the risk of the snake blocking the waters path then you have another prob with a flooded viv. i looked into this but the cons well out numbered the pros |

| About blocking water, all the water holes would have small vent to make such a think unlikely to happen :) |

| Corns don't like weekly baths and a waterfall would cause more harm than good in terms of health like others have said. Even if its at the cool side, it will still raise it as water is moving and makes small droplets fly all over the place. Ceramic cat or rabbit bowls are cheap as chips and aren't heavy enough for corns to tip. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

The waterfalls available are not designed for snakes, snakes can get stuck and drown in them. The water still needs changing daily in them. It can cause humidity issues. Its ruined if the snake poops in it. It will make you want to pee every 5 seconds.
Its all good and well wanting to have a setup that looks pretty but practicality and animal requirement have to come first. They need fresh clean water in a container that they can fit into, thats the water requirements, the most practical way of achieving it is a bowl of water. |
