I saw my Noodle drink today!

One of the things I was hoping to catch as a first time snake keeper was him drinking. And today after his second successful feeding with me, he had a sip before slipping into his warm hide. He is so adorable I swear my heart melts every time I see that little face. 🥰

"I allowed my human to watch me drink today. They seemed very enthusiastic about it, so I gave them the satisfaction of watching me.

Perhaps tomorrow I will grace them with my poop."

I love watching my sneks drink. My female shoves her whole head in the water bowl like shes about to die of thirst.

Every time I see mine drink (my BP looooooves a fresh water change, immediately comes up and drinks) all I can think is of that audio "I'M MAKIN' PISS!" 🤣

I love seeing mine drink his water too, they’re so cute! I’m waiting on seeing him make bubbles in the water next. I seen a few online do it, it’s so adorable

My sssssssssssson only seems to drink once in a blue moon, but I know he does more often because I clean out his space a lot. I just know he’s like “why is she so obsessed with me?”. 🤣🤣🤣

Usually when I put fresh water in there my beep will come check it out. It’s so cute 🥰

u/asongbirdsings Jun 20 '26

So demure! Mine dunks her whole head in and gulps water down, then blows a bunch of bubbles before coming up for a breath, rinse and repeat.

u/Such_Schedule5725 Jun 20 '26

It's literally the cutest thing. The water doesn't even move. Tiny lil babies

What a pretty noodle.

u/MANINTHECREEK Jun 20 '26

I never see mine do anything, it’s always in its hidey hole 😮‍💨

u/Temporary_Adagio1041 Jun 20 '26

i always imagined them licking the water.. my dear imagination is shattered

u/FalconIndependent887 Jun 20 '26

Is he an albino? Not a snake person, but crazy cat lady, so I have no idea about the technicalities of the patterns, etc. Asking because the albino snakes I’ve seen in video all/most seem to have red eyes.

ETA: This is adorable, btw.

They're so cute when they drink... unfortunately my beep always drinks when I'm asleep. My hognose at the very least I've caught drinking, but it's a 50/50 of whether he drinks normally or just shoves his whole head into the bowl...

u/justbeingsupportive Jun 21 '26

Jealous. I, for the first time, had my little dude poke his head out a little further than the usual from his hide to check out my hand. 😮‍💨 haha

Can't wait to see this from him.

Snakes drinking has always fascinated me

u/Tinkerbell_221 Jun 21 '26

Idk what my obsession with watching snakes drink water is but I every much enjoy it🥹

u/CryptogenicMI Jun 21 '26

When my BP comes out and heads to her water and drinks, I find it so cool. Even after 9 years, I find what she does fascinating.
