I always make sure my newborn scrubs have ground level watering dishes but today I saw a need for it with 2 year snake.
I have a Iowa albino (T-) T.radix that I believe is, for all practical purposes blind. I guess I never gave much thought to him having trouble getting water but apparently he did. It was time to change substrate with this group so as part of their enclosure cleaning the snakes get a bath while I prepare the new digs. As soon as I put the albino in the tub he started drinking, as if it had been a long time since one. Needless to say I've installed two ground level water dishes in the enclosure.
Might be something to keep in mind as you decide what kind of water dish you might be using.
