I am mostly with Frank on this one. Dehydration IS a problem in captivity. The problem is, most snakes and lizards do not show signs of dehydration or to be more specific, they do not show signs that most keepers will pick up on. Even low levels of dehydration over time is detrimental and is perhaps why so many reptiles only live to a fraction of their potential.

I have noticed that offering even just a humid hide spot (which hogs will use frequently) they rarely if ever drink. In fact, I can not remember the last time I saw one of my hogs take a drink.
