Ok so I was doing a water change tonight. The only difference was that I was alone. I usually have my mom help me because our sink doesn't have the best drainage and she empties the water out into the toilet with a bowl as it gets too high.
So this time I was prepared to take breaks while draining the tank because I knew I'd have to wait for the sink to drain. I had kept the end of the python in my tank and I went to turn off the sink to let it drain. Lo and behold, once I turned off the water I noticed the water was still draining from my tank!!!
I actually feel a bit stupid I never realized it before but as long at the water pressure is there to get it started, it's not necessary after that as long as the end of the python stays submerged. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else has a clogged sink or a need to cut down on their water bill lol
