I have only ever seen one of my corn snakes drinking.

As long as the water is there he will drink it if he needs so don't worry.

We have had Sid just over a year now and only seen him drink maybe 6 times in total. Frank always has a drink straight after downing a meal but i have never seen Keith drink at all. I guess they would drink in the middle of the night when all is quiet and still. Like Lousie says they will drink when they need to as long as fresh water is available.

I wouldn't worry,he's probably craftily sipping away while you're not around.
Its rare I've seen mine drink. The only time I've seen Falcor drink was once while I was still holding him and putting him back in the viv.
Loki came out and had a good guzzle the other morning,it was like a mojor event in my household lol!
