ok i noticed today that my boa had her tail in her water bowl , so I looked and saw her feces in the water bowl. well i gave her an hour and she was still in the water bowl, so i figured she was still pooing, well it has been over 4 hours now and she is still soaking in her poo infested water bowl , surely she is done going right?? should i take her out and clean the water bowl ???

Deffinently, normally snakes dont seem to mind crawling around in their feces, or soaking in water that the have gone poo in. So i would deffinently clean the water.

Yeah, take her out and rinse her off with a bath tub swim!
Then do what ya need to do with her water container, clean, bleach etc..
Also, its a good idea to bleach out the tub afterwards as well.

Too long of a time with poo and urates can lead to some health problems, such as scale rot, so when you see her doing the poo soak, be sure to clean her too.
