This morning Frank (my new 4 year old dumeril boa - got him sunday at a reptile show)was coiled up in his hidey rock with just his head and tail showing. His mouth is slightly parted. I never saw the inside of my other two snakes mouthes unless they were feeding, this is weird. Should I be concerned or is this normal for a Dumeril? Also, he seemed to be drinking a lot of water yesterday. I rarely saw my other two snakes drink, and when I did, it wasn't for long. Frank spent most of the day yesterday hovering over his water bowl. I cannot be sure how much he drank, but I am wondering if he could be sick.

Thanks!!!
Taylor
