How long can snakes go without water?

I was reading another post about how someone left their Ball Python with a sitter (uncle) when they went on a trip. One thing about snakes that is so great is they really don't need sitters. If well fed they can go weeks and even months with out eating. (not recommended) but they can go sometime without eating. My question is about water, I think I read somewhere they can go with out water for long periods of time as well but can't find where I saw this. I know desert snakes can but what about other snakes like Corns?

I just think the Ball Python issue could have been avoided and if the person was only gone a few weeks or so the snake really didn't need a sitter. Even if the snake did, the sitter didn't have to feed the snake, just give it water. The post didn't say how long the owner was on vacation so...
