IT REALLY DEPENDS ON WHAT KIND OF BOA YOU OWN AND WHERE ITS FROM. MY BOA C. OROPHIAS DRINKS EVERYDAY AND PISSES EVERY OTHER DAY. HOWEVER MY ROATAN FIRE BELLY BOAS DONT EVER SEEM TO TOUCH THEIR WATER. EITHER WAY IT SHOULDNT REALLY MATTER BECAUSE YOU SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE FRESH WATER AVALIBLE FOR THEM!!

my 2 bci never drink and havbe a problem of cconstipation because of it.. they will go to nearly 2 months if i don't give them a bath or something...

i inject water in the rats i give them and like this they poop every 2 weeks. the poops are al;ways solid and i feel more at ease this way

how is this done through the mouth or by shot

i use injections by syringes...i inject about 25% of the rat wieght... egg a 200 grams rat gets 50 ml water...

before my boas would get all bloated with the poop inside when when they pooped it would be massive

now they poop less but more often
