Just went to check on my new additions and it looks like my big girl was thirsty as her water bowl is nearly empty might have to put the bigger bowl back in

Most likely to be caused by evaporation than drinking, snakes drink very little as they get most of their water requirements from the prey

they don't drink often but when they do they really do!

i dont know if its the same with snakes but with mammals you can pinch the skin and if the skin doesnt retract straight away then its a general sign of dehydration
