How long can snakes hold their breath?

I'm prompted to ask this, because for some reason, my kingsnake has been soaking in his water dish for over 24 hours. He -is- going to shed, but it's wierd 'cause he's never done this before (humidity is the same).

I checked on him earlier tonight and his head was completely submerged. I'm pretty much confident in his ability to keep from drowning himself , but it makes me feel a little uneasy seeing him (and others occasionally) stay under the water for periods of time.

To keep this more corn-related, I found my normal in his water dish a couple days ago - he couldn't submerge his head (believe me, there -was- water in his dish!)
