Don't worry too much, you will soon become acustomed to how your snake behaves as an individual. Don't worry about asking questions either, you will always get an answer, hopefully a useful one! |

i don't see my lot drinking either - it must be one of those things that they don't like being watched :) |

i rarely actually see mine drink, the exception being my OAP corn who seems to down gallons (ok, not literally!  ) every time i give him some fresh water lol
and as Hannah says it's normal behaviour for a snake due to shed. try to keep handling to bare neccessity until he's actually shed as their eyesight is poor at this time and could cause defensive aggression or just plain stress for the snake |

he may have been drinking while you are asleep or not in the room 
i wouldnt worry too much - if hes gone into shed (which is very likely given the description) they often hide away which is normal, give him a few days and he should brighten up again and then usually they shed in a few days |
