    Is seeing your BP drinking actually rare?

    Hello, I have had some people tell me that seeing a BP drink is quite rare. However, I see mine drink all the time. She's drank water out of her bowl while I had the bowl in my hands and her hanging around my neck. She has even drank out of my BARE hands before! So I actually find this "rare to see your BP drinking" claim to be a bit off. I do, of course, know that not all BP's act the same. Who knows, maybe mine is just a heavy drinker lol.

    I see my spider and mojave drinking all the time, I've only seen my normal girl and male pastel drink on occasion, I don't think I've ever seen by female pastel drink.

    The point I'm trying to make is that it really just depends on the snake.

    My girl takes a nice long drink after every meal to wash it down. At this point, it would be rare for me to not see her drink. My boy however, I've only caught him drinking once.

    Basically what they said. Some drink often, some don't. My big girl likes a drink with her meal, but I haven't caught the smaller ones drinking more than a few times.

    lol they said hands so I don't think they had another hand to hold the phone.

    I've seen Allure drink once and that was when I went to put him away when I had him in a tank. As I was lowering down he drank while hanging from my arm.

    I've caught one snake drinking water once since I got Aradia the April before last. In about June of last year. Gone from 1 to 12 and have yet to see it again. I was so stinkin' excited when I did see it, though.
