This is just an idea I just thought of. I realize the deterrent for most potential cobra lily growers and the reason they are famed as being hard to grow is that they require cool roots. Well in the wild, cobras typically live in streams with water flowing over them (I'm lucky enough to have actually seen them in the wild.) So I was thinking about a way to replicate that, and I know some growers who have ponds in their backyards and place them in there, or others who place them in a cooler with refrigerated water. I don't have a pond and the cooler system doesn't appeal to me. The idea I had was to take one of those pet fountains, meant for your cat or dog to drink from, which has constant flowing water and can have ice cubes or refrigerated water put it, and place the cobras in there. When I was 11 I killed a cobra, but hopefully I can convince my dad to drive me to California Carnivores soon so I can grab another and try again but with my idea. I'd love to here any thoughts or any ways you all grow them or have seen cobras grown.

These fountains are actually fairly cheap as well.
