For those who never see their pythons drink

I was sitting next to Paradox's cage this evening, shortly after I had fed him. He came out of hide, and I was thinking he was wanting more food.

However, he moved to his water dish. Hovered over it a minute, then started flicking his tongue into the water. He did dip his lower jaw onto the surface twice, but mostly he flicked his tongue in the water. I could see him swallowing, was interesting. Very different from the corns, who stick their snouts in and slurp up the water.

Sorry, no pictures, no video. Now I should set the timer to see how long it takes him to pee it out.

That's cool! I've seen Snickets drink once, but haven't seen the other two drink. I'm assuming they suck it down though since their water bowls need constant refilling!

Dianna got a good video of her BP drinking in this thread:
