You mean she fell into the water bowl (or at least her head) whilst eating, so you took some water out? If that's the case why don't you just lift her out and away from the water bowl?

Don't panic, I have personally hosed out two womas stomachs with a garden hose blaster to immeadiately get rid of an overdose of flagyl with no dramas at all.

It would be better to move your snake out of the water and It lose a feed then lose your snake all together!
