Great observations nasicus.

I have seen the same thing with my kings in the winter on occasion when I don't control ventilation enough. I interpret that as a state of mild, but chronic, dehydration. When corrected, the water bowl doesn't dry out and they are rarely if ever observed drinking. You might want to give this a shot, limit ventilation to the point where you don't have to frequently top off h2o bowls and see if you observe the same reactions to water. Its little tests like this that keep me learning and make the keeping part fun. Thanks.

Will
