Mt Eastern Diamondback has been eating well and is growing fast. But I can't tell if he is drnking from his water dish. He use to drink from it now I don't see him drinking at all. Is there a way to get him to
drink fom his dish if he hasn't been drinking. And how can I do this.

Try soaking your rattler in luke warm water, at the same time spray it steadily for a couple minutes. An eastern diamond back can use a good soaking once in a while, that is if it will let you. While soaking, gently press its head half-way into the water (with a hook), not above its nostrils.
If the snake is eating, you shouldn't have a problem. He might be drinking while you are not around. If the snake is looking dehydrated (loose skin etc..), try the soaking technique.
If you have any more questions, feel free to email me. sheldonsherps@yahoo.com
Hope this helps you,
Sheldon
