Hey There Again.
I got my corn snake 2 days ago.
And he doesn't seem to be drinking, all he does is stay in his hide.
Is this normal right now - since he has just been moved etc.
Thanks |

As said I wouldn't worry too much. He is probably picking his chance while no-one is looking to snatch a quick drink.

Yeah, corns arn't exactly the most active of things during the day, they're nocturnal! The water never seems to go down much, just keep replacing it every couple of days or so, your corn will drink from it when he needs it! I've only caught mine drinking about once in the 4 months I've had mine x3
If I remember rightly they aren't nocturnal. Can't remember the name for it but it's when they are active at dawn and dusk.
That's correct, they are crepuscular 
Now I know :) |

Definitely fine. Especially as its just being introduced to new surroundings, smells etc...... I am quite lucky as my snake isn't that shy when it co,mes to drinking and shedding. A lot of the time she'll have a drink as I put her back after handling which is quite cool to watch. |

Perfectly normal. They do alot of hiding away.
If he has water he can get to, he will drink. Most likely at night when your not watching!
As long as your setup is correct and your temps are fine then nothing to worry about. |
