Should I be concerned? I'm worried he'll be very dehydrated.

(Also sorry - I'm not sure if 'drank' is proper grammar/proper context. Drunk? Drinked? God I don't know. But y'all get my drift).
 
Ive only caught my two RTBs drinking twice, and that was because I had been handling them and they slipped out of my hands being ridiculous (we dont wanna go in the cage!), and fell into the water.
Then they ended up drinking.

Just make sure you provide good, fresh clean water on a regular basis, and watch the water line disappear in your snakes terrarium.

Its a new acquisition and you NEED to apply the basics
Quarantine(isolate) from other like animals
Insure cage husbandry is up to minimum levels(85*F-55-60%humidity)
You need to leave the animal alone in total darkness free of excessive noise.
The longer you can "not peek" the faster the animal will acclimate to its new world.

Be very aware of YOU,every time "you think" the animal requires something
you are likely to be wrong.Snakes live on snake time not human.
Just be patient,allow a couple of weeks before attempting to feed etc
With all the best intentions in the world,
you are currently that animals worst enemy.

Patience,Patience,Patience . . . . .
