Do you ever see your snake drink?

Hey guys.

Well as some of you know I got my boa a few days ago. But I dont have a question that is specific to boas so I decided this is the best place for this thread

Anyway

Have you ever seen your snake drink? so far I havent seen my snake even look at the water.

I think that some snakes just drink at night when we dont see it because we are asleep...

Any comments on your snakes drinking habits are appreciated :)

I have never seen my normal ball drink. I catch my boa drinking on a rare occasion. You'll know she's drinking after she defecates ;)

Lol, cant wait for her first poop :)

I really want to see urates though because isnt that like hard pee? :D

Its itneresting that you havent seen your normal ball drink, how long have you had him/her?

I've had him about 7-8 months now. Little guy is always hiding.

Yeah, you'll see the urates, mine already throws some out that look like large marshmallows :weirdface

There will also sometimes be fluid too. I've had to replace the bedding in a quarter of the cage because of excess fluid. There was even a big urate. I was told that it just happens like that sometimes.

Lol thats interesting :D Cant wait for her first poop and urates LOL :rofl: if she does like a liquid/urate pee that is gonna be a mess to clean :O but I say bring it on :rofl: Id clean up after her all day

I swear, I feel like I have a baby man...

Anybody else see thier snake drink?

They drink.. Don't worry. It's pretty uncommon to catch them in the act. I find they like to take a nice long drink after a big meal...

I see mine drink pretty often.

I catch my normal and my spider driking everynight usually around dusk when they emerge from their hides

Really? hmm maybe they are like people and like to drink with thier dinner lol!

I know they drink, I just hate how they are so secretive about it. they are so damn cute and seeing them drink would be a cuteness overload IMO :D

Awesome! Its funyn that yours drink at dusk lol, Thats an interesting time because like you said its getting dark and they are comin out, I think im gonna peek in the tub tonight when it starts to get dark and see what happens :)

thanks for posting that!

I have many ball pythons, and I check on them often. I see them drink often, through the tubs. It's fun to watch if they continue while in your presence (most will stop when you walk by). I'd say I spot one drinking once a month.

If I only had one or two, I doubt I'd ever see them drink.:)
