Do ensure your humidity is correct, and then make sure your snake has access to clean water at all times. That being said, you can't force them to drink.

i change her water every day in both dishes so she has lots, wonder why she dosent want any??

I've noticed that BP's don't drink hardly, as alot of their moisture intake comes from eating. Try and get the humidity to 80 percent. Better results at that rate.

Yeah, it's just a little low on humidity. Luckily it's not something to freak out about. It will come back with more humidity. I have had a couple do that, but higher humidity tends to fix it just fine.

Will high humidity hurt the snake after a while? My tub was reading 82% but thought that wouldn't be good over long periods of time so I drilled more holes to get it down to 65%. During shed i put a moist paper towl inside for added humidity.

to the OP: this happened to my snake a long time ago.. i bumped up the humidity by lightly misting the cage and the next day, it was gone. on the thread that I started, someone said they dipped the BPs head in water and it was fixed.. lol... i don't suggest it, but it lets you know your BP is probably dehydrated..

mist the cage - bump up the humidity - wait.

keeping the enclosure to humid could lead to a respiratory infection, but when the snake is in shed, the extra humidity would make shedding easier. that's why people suggest to bump the humidity when the snake is in shed. :gj:
