Drinking Water????

Just curious, is it rare to see you BP drink water? and if their not how do you know if their keeping hydrated and drinking normally?

The water goes away :P

haha i know that but i guess i have to pay more attention. But is it rare to see it cause i feel like i never do

I see mine drinking all the time! It's usually in the morning. It's so adorable. He pokes his head out of his hide, stretches out to where his water bowl is and just has his little head dipped in the water, slurping it up!

well i always see them drink water when i change their water they drink when at night i look at them they drink and of course when the water go away i guess you keep missing them when they are drinking.

Sometimes you may catch them drinking, but most times not. A dehydrated snake will usually have wrinkly skin and. Sometimes the scales will appear kind of flakey and not smooth.

If she's in shed will she not drink?

I have never seen my snake drink in the almost year I have had him :)

I've only seen my snakes drink when the humidity drops.. But everytime I catch them drinking its in the dark with a torch

Try taking the dish away for a few days and then give it back, he will gulp and gulp right before your eyes. :P
Ive frequently seen snakes drink yes.

I catch mine at it every now and again but for one of my males he sometimes will do something super funny and I think it is quite cool. After I have had him out for a while and I put him back in he will often (2 of 5 times) will stop while I am holding him and drink as he makes his way past the water bowl. For me it is just about the coolest thing I have experienced. :P:P:P:P:P

i see mine drinking sometimes..its rare but i do catch it

When i was living in Florida and housing my BP in Tank I was catching her all the time.. She often drinks after meal...

That is a great photo! I sorry to hear of her passing :(

I've only seen mine drink a couple of times. I know she does because she pees almost every day lol

every time i change there water id say at least half of my snakes come out and take a drink. But over the years ive seen them come out for a drink of water take a quick cruise around the tub and go back under the paper or into there hide

I'm just worried about her cause I pay attention to her water levels and they don't drop. And never see her drink. Is their such issues as BP's being dehydrated? How could I fix it if she is? How would I know? And would she stop drinking during shed ?
