I looked at this guide and it also says its ok to keep 2 or more ball pythons together after the quarantine :rolleyes: :rolleyes:.It looks like it was wrote in 2001.I don't think i would follow that guide just because of the old incorrect info :D

LOL I had never caught my BP's drinking before... then this post popped up while I was wandering around the net last night looking up info and stuff. I found this link while I was looking for an exotics vet here in K-town. http://www.anapsid.org/drinksnake.html

Then about two hours later I caught Riley taking a few long droughts from his water dish.

This is Gordon driking. I saw my little guy drink a few times but never got a pic of it. When I saw Gordon chuggin the water I get a few shots. You can sew the skin on the lower jaw move letting you know they are taking water in. You can also see his face in it pretty far. I think he was holding his breath because when he came out is was a loud "Hiss". Interesting. I too read that they get most water from food.

Not a bp, but I caught one of my snakes on video drinking. I think it's the cutest thing how their cheeks work when they're getting a drink. :love:
