Seeking advice

If your temps are good and your humidity is good, and you bump humidity up when its shed time, I highly doubt your snake needs to be soaked for dehydration. Although if he likes it thats a different story. :P

Also Ive heard that the water temp for soaking shouldnt be too warm to YOUR touch. If its real warm to you, its probably realy hot for your buddy.

I have often thought that too "why do I never see them drink?" But just today I saw Bob drinking it was pretty cool actually he just tipped the front of his snout into the water bowl and then didn't move but you could see his throat moving up and down as he was drinking.

Up the humidity ASAP Eddie.

btw, my biggest bp was dehydrated like HELL when i got him. he looked like a fake snake. dry and cracked up, his scales were folding in the opposite direction, and his skin just didn't look right. i kept his humidity around 80% and provided fresh water daily for about 2 weeks, then slowly dropped the humidity. he is over his dehydration, i can say. however, i sure do wish he'd eat.

That's basically the way my new addition was. I refer to it as if you were running your hand along a dry corn cob. It felt horrible to me so I know how Cheetah felt.
I have seen my other bp drink several times since i've had him, but then I am home pretty much 24/7 and up at all hours of the day and night.
