GTP's are only a small part of my collection but I have seen them drinking many times while rarely seeing other morelia that I have in larger numbers. Seems logical as they come from a wet tropical rainforest environment while other species will have evolved to survive long dry seasons. Obviously diet will have a big effect.
Darwins regularly poop in their water, usually straight after you have cleaned everything and given them nice fresh water.
I've had had numerous Morelia spilota from all over the country over the past 40 years (currently have 8) and have seen them all drink on numerous occasions. Not unusual for all snakes (& not just pythons) to defecate in the water either. I provide two water bowls for this reason, one small one...too small for them to get into, specifically for fresh drinking water.
