yes,snakes do need water.they could live a little while without it,but not very long.
Yes they do.

Desert snakes are specially design to retain the water they encounter, and they also get moisture from their prey, and probably they, in the wild, know the vegetation and spots where water can be found.

All snakes do need water to survive. If you're thinking of keeping a desert species, do some careful research first to determine how much they should be given and when.

Snakes get their water from the prey they eat. They absorb liquids from other animals that they catch and consume.

It turns out that snakes drink water by using their tongue. They lick up the water like a dog using their thin tongues.

Snakes mostly get their water from the food they eat. However, they will also drink water the way most animals do...with their mouths.
