Was wondering if any of you lot have tried to get your snake to drink whilst holding him/her...and whether they actually drink anything?

Just wondering as Freddy has a weird habit of doing it everytime I go to put him back , and won't get off unless he has his drink first

That's very cool. None of mine have done that yet, although Apollo did used to go and get a drink as soon as I put him back

Most of mine have taken a drink at some point while still wrapped on my arm. Sometimes it is after feeding and being returned to the viv.

It is cute, just make sure the tap is just trickling, I've often had them stick their heads under a strong flow and completely freakout when it pushes them down lol

I love it when they drink it is just soo cute. When Trevor was small I tried to give him a bath in a bowl, and instead of getting in it he started drinking the water whilst still in my hand, ot was sooo adorable. He's also done it a couple of times whilst still being on my hand when i'm putting him back in the viv.
