When you say you have not touched the water, do you mean you haven't changed it? If you haven't then the water must be pretty grubby by now, also the temp of the water is the same temp of the viv, and I have noticed my snakes like a cool fresh drink. Sometimes I put my finger in the water and drip it off the end onto the front of the snakes mouth where the tounge comes out, they are so sweet when they drink off my finger, I think this shows that they are very tame and they trust and know me. If the viv isn't getting very hot, say about 80 - 85 deg dth, then the snake probably isn't too hot, they only seem to soak in the water when the heat is high. But then again some snakes like soaking more than others. Anyway I suggest you give them fresh water every day, or at the least every other day, cos I wouldn't like to drink week old water, would you.
