I understand (from Brian at BHB) that they get 50% from their food and 50% from drinking.


Moriar, GREAt shot! Didn't know they opened their mouths before drinking. What was the next move?

Cute shot. Is that a price tag sticker in the water bowl? Might want to get that out.

I have seen our BP drinking off the sides of the glass when I have misted. But never drinking from his bowl - though I've seen him soak, but his head was not under.

Every time I put our new little Kenyan Sand Boa back in, I offer him the water bowl, and he almost always rewards me with a show. He sticks his face in and seems to suck. Once, his underbelly was facing me and I had the pleasure of seeing the little lumps of water travel down his throat. How cute!!! He also likes to swim sometimes.

I have seen my BP, she flicks her tongue out and keeps her head a couple of cm's above the water's surface. Once she positions herself she will slowly move her lower jaw structure up and down, looks very nice....
