My female western hognose does not appear to be drinking water normally that is provided in her enclosure. She only seems to drink water when I hold her and let the water from the sink run into my other hand (kind of like a puddle in a spring). She immediately takes her fill of water and looks at me like she is saying she is ready to go back to her tank and why we are not moving.



Of course she is also my picky eater. She will only eat if I am the one feeding her and has to have the thawed mouse presented in a specific way or she just stares at it asking what am I supposed to do with that?



My male hog is an excellent eater and seems to drink his water just fine. They have identical enclosures.



Any ideas would be helpful but I guess this isn't the worst that could happen. It just means she gets a lot more attention. (Ahh her motives become clear...)
