    Snake drinking from your hand?

    When I change my BP's water everyday I'll take him out and handle him for a bit. I have never seen my snake drink, not saying that he doesn't when I'm not looking. Anyway whenever I put him back into the tank I put his head kinda close to the water, not in it obviously, but he will sit there in my hand and drink for 15-20 seconds. I know hes done when he pulls his head up and starts sniffing again. I think its kinda of cute. Anyone else experience this?

    Re: Snake drinking from your hand?

    yeah with my corn snakes. I have also had my corn drink out of my hand literally. My older corn (almost 8 years now) he is laid back and will hang around my neck while I walk around doing some chores around the house. Periodically I will take him to the sink and run the water. If he is interested for a drink he will start moving toward it. So I'll cup some water in my hand and he will drink from that. When he's done, he'll either go back to hanging out or will start to slither away, which is my signal that he's had enough and wants to go home. Its neat to watch them drink though.

    Hey, I just caught Milton drinking tonight after I cleaned his cage, and thought this would be a nice place to post it!
