... depends who you call a "SNAKE". If you call "snake" longiformes FISHES, like eels (in fresh waters), or the conger (in salted waters): They are fishes, the have gills (scholar term is BRANCHIAE), thus they can "live" under the water. If you point at terestrial snakes that "can" swim or at some other which live most of the time in ponds or rivers or alongside, but have only aerial lungs or/and an oxygenation by the skin: Then the answer is no: They don't "live" under water; they just plunge into it, monenteanously, in apnea, to feed.

Do green sea turtle drink water?
I do know sea snakes srink fresh water when it rains. The fresh rain water collects at the top before mixing with the salt water and the snakes come to the surface and drink it. I am trying to find the answer to the same question you have but for now am assuming the case of the turtles is the same as the snakes. Very few animals are equipped to drink salt water.

Half fill the top dish with water, add a few drops of fragrance oil to the water, place a tealight underneath, light the wick and your room will be fragranced. Alternatively, add a spoonful or two of simmering granules to the top dish but don't use any water, then place the tealight underneath and light it. Even though the tealight may be inside the burner, always be very careful with naked flames in the home.
