    I see mine drinking all the time! It's usually in the morning. It's so adorable. He pokes his head out of his hide, stretches out to where his water bowl is and just has his little head dipped in the water, slurping it up!

    Reach for the stars, and if you don't grab them at least you'll fall on top of the world.

    Sometimes you may catch them drinking, but most times not. A dehydrated snake will usually have wrinkly skin and. Sometimes the scales will appear kind of flakey and not smooth.

    Try taking the dish away for a few days and then give it back, he will gulp and gulp right before your eyes.
