So I have noticed that whenever I am cleaning out my snake's water bowl, I find little gel like beads stuck to bottom that are kind of yellowish in color, what is that, and is it anything I should be worried about? Also I clean out my snakes water bowl once a week and refill it a couple times a week. Right after I clean it out every week and I put my snake back in the tank, he goes straight to the water bowl and drinsk. Is he a water snob or should I be cleaning it out more often?

I clean the water bowl and refill with fresh daily.
The water bowls can get nasty rather quickly. They will grow algae, get slimy, and filthy if not cleaned. My snake poops in his very often. He crawls through it sometimes sits in it for a few minutes.
I had a Boa years ago that loved to take long baths in her bowl, and I guess I just got into the habit of cleaning it and changing the water daily.
Whenever I have Rufus out for "Play time" he always gulps water when I put him back in his cage. In fact sometimes while he's still wrapped around my arm, he will get a drink while I hold him over his bowl.
He likes to grab a drink after a feeding too. (Gotta get the taste of that mouse out of your mouth somehow, right?)
