Hey just wondering how long can Corn Snakes go without water? I haven't seen my baby drink yet since I brought her home last week, just don't want her to get dehydrated or something
Thanks!

Probably drinking while you sleep.

They should always have a water source. Even though you might not see it I promise she's drinking. I don't see my snakes drink often, but it definitely comes out the other end... lol.
Pareeeee

I rarely see mine drink, but she still does. They only drink a couple times a day so your chances of actually seeing it happen are low.

And she just drank lol I was holding her and when I put her back I hovered her over the water and she took a few long mouthfuls :)
Thanks guys! She's doing great!

Wait until you see one blowing bubbles. I've got one that comes over when I pour fresh water in her bowl and she takes a few big gulps right away and every so often when she gets done doing that she just blows bubbles. Looks/sounds funny, no idea why she does it. No RI, doesn't appear to be any stuck shed, she just blows bubbles.

Lol likes playing with her apparently.
And yes it is really cool to watch them drink!
I've had my Garter and King for a few months now. Only seen them drink once each. Got to watch the Garter shed last month. Now that was cool.

I hope I get to see my baby shed! I watched a video of a corn snake shedding and it looks really cool!

I've had my jcp for 1.5 years and I only saw her drink once ... Right after I watched her shed for the first time ... Needless to say it was a pretty cool day

Oh wow that would have been an awesome day for you!
Eve is seeming to be particular, I hold her and when I go to put her back I hover her over the water bowl and she drinks every time, weird! She's done that 3 times now
