So thirsty she got her whole head under 😳

Straight dove in lol

That's how snakes drink? Huh neat.

Legit, most of mine will drink from a glass. I have many pics and vids

I’m assuming since the mouth gap extends above the water it can still breathe like that? Otherwise that snake sure can hold its breath.

Seems like it sucks at drinking given that the water level doesn't noticably decrease

They basically slurp, over several minutes he drank about 1/3

HE THIRST

How long can Chevy hold their breath for?

I'm sitting here like "CHEVY REMEMBER YOU GOTTA BREATHE!" but Chevy is lost in the crisp water.

My corn, Apollo would stick his head out just enough from his bedding to drink then slither back underground. His favorite was scaring the crap out of my dad in the morning. All you would see was his head in a random spot. Chevy is handsome.

yes and not sure if snakes are like this, but i know some some lizards are: you arent supposed to distupt them (pick them up etc) when theyre drinking or they will essentially drown themselves. has something to do with their airway function when they drink.

Can we please talk about the little nose bubble and how fricking adorable that is.

i like watching my python drink.

Damn, God gave them one hell of a flaw.

Snakes are so damn cool. Little land creatures with no legs. I love it

I tend to dodge away from snakes.

Nah, they drown themselves whenever they see water, it’s tragic.

As long as he wants. No one is holding his head under, if he needs to breathe, he’ll breathe.

Evolutionary imperative. You’re all good.

I like the little air bubble in his nose.

I've never thought about how a snake drinks but this is not what I would have expected

the guy seems to have existential crisis.

What an adorable little noodle!

First time ever i see a snek drinking

One thing to note; cold blooded critters don't need to do much of anything as frequently as we do.

By comparison we're extremely high maintenance; we have to source and actively burn a majority of our caloric intake - which requires O2 to happen - just to maintain our body temp. Chevy's body temp is more "right place, right time." Food gets scarce, if they can keep their temp on the lower end they can easily go weeks, possibly months without a meal.

Fun fact: this is why every alive snake is in the desert.
