I had the good old, "There's clean water, I'll crap in there" yesterday. Within half an hour of changing the boys' water there was a floater.

Have you guys considered adding a filter to the water feature? What about a flow-through system? A lot of initial work can be rewarding for the snakes with a forever supply of fresh, clean water, and you, with much less maintainence. Zoological and scientific enclosures are catagorized by the amount of automation and controls over the environment.

I've considered a flowing water supply in one of my vivs, but I don't think the filters would be good at dealing with "large biological matter"... Mostly because I think the crap would sit in the bowl.

I always use untreated tap water for all my animals. Even my Tropical Fish tanks and no problems here.

I don't know anyone that keeps tropical fish alive using untreated tap water. There must be something special about your water supply because normally tap water results in dead fish.

goldfish are very hardy, they tend to be abused in the fish hobby.
