They really don't drink super often, that's normal for them. And they're also crepuscular, so most likely they're drinking at night when you're not watching. As long as they have fresh water, you don't really have to worry about dehydration. Your temps on the warm side sound a little bit too hot. I prefer a warm spot of around 87. They usually will only want the heat when they're digesting, so don't be concerned if they spend most of the time on the cooler end.

As for feeding, have you attempted a feeding yet? How long have you had the snake and did the breeder or seller provide any sort of feeding record or guarantee that the baby has already eaten several times? You'll want to let them settle in for a week before you try feeding. During that time, no handling and try not to mess with the tank a bunch either. After the week is done, place the baby in a small container in the evening. Put that container in a quiet dark place while you thaw out a pinkie mouse. Thaw with super hot water. Put the pinkie in with the snake, close the lid, and leave them alone for about half an hour. Check in at that point to see if it's been eaten. If not, reheat the pinkie and leave it overnight. Make sure the container has air holes and is also escape proof. Deli cups work perfectly for feeding baby corns.
