:Hi Laura, it seems strange me answering one of your questions and not the other way around.
Skippy only drinks if it is really hot, and he doesn't drink like other animals- he puts his beak in the water and than sucks the water in. The only thing you see moving is his throat. But during his soakings (which he hates) he will oft times invert his cloaca/hemipenes- I believe that like turtles he is drawing water into his body through his vent.
