Ever Seen A Snake Drinking Water?

Snakes don't lap water like a dog. It's thought that some use capillary action to draw water in via. Some snakes, like the cottonmouth water moccasin of North America live in water part of the time. Though they are found all over the world, snakes do not, however, like the cold. This is because they are cold blooded or ectothermic.
According to Cundall, snakes have a different system to drink water, which involves the skin folds which function like tiny tubes in a sponge, drawing water into the snake's mouth through capillary action. The snakes muscle's action then squeezes the water down its gut. Snakes seldom actually drink, so it is believed.
Snakes can lower their metabolic rates by up to 70 percent, allowing them to survive prolonged periods without food while growing longer nonetheless, a new study shows.
It also actually helps when it’s time to shed. It helps keep the humidity that is important in the terrain. So yes, all of our pet snakes need water, and the simplest and easiest way to apply water to your snakes is to have the basin. And for the quality of the water I think major consensus is, if the water is safe enough for you to drink, it’s good enough for your snake. So do we need bottled water distilled water, which are common questions? I think that answer is no. You need to be careful in urban areas where their are a lot of chemicals in the water, but even still, if it’s safe enough for you to drink it, it is safe enough for this little guy to drink.
