corn snake water dish question

[reese-babey]

new member here! came from frogforum. i have a juvenile corn and am remodeling her habitat a little bit. thinking of putting in a running water feature. do corns enjoy running water?

To my knowledge, snakes tend to be indifferent when it comes to water sources. All they really need is clean water.

As far as water features go, snakes tend to defecate in water, at least occasionally, and their waste tends to be more than most pumps/filters can handle. Just my opinion, but water features with running water are just more trouble than they're worth. (Unless you are making a huge paludrium with dedicated waste eaters in the water like shrimp.)

thank you!! she loves her (literally just a plastic tub) water dish

Why do you say she loves it? Does she soak in it?
