Hello All,
Made an interesting discovery this week with my darling WP Hydro.
Hydro has a very bad attitude and is usually very quick to launch himself full flight at housemates faces  .... (not mine.... he seems to have associated me with being the bearer of food)
I had given him a bath after he peed all over himself last weekend and he loved it and calmed down dramatically. So with that in mind i added a swimming pool (and some extra air vents for humidity issues).... and now..... he is a totally different snake
Now i thought this was too good to be true and maybe he was just having a good day..... but these pics were taken by my house mate (whom Hydro usually gets very excited at the thought of this particular house mates blood LOL).....
So i guess its something to do with this particular WP feeling safe in the water...... 
Whatever it is I'm very glad and havent had any blood drawn to get him out since the addition of the swimming pool.

Glad to see Hydro enjoying himself. You'll have to get one of those kids clam shell sandpit/pool for when he gets too big for the pot base!

When he grows out of this enclosure we'll do a half water half land thing for him i think
