    Yea its my old dogs water dish she out grew it a long time ago, and now she been chilling in it most of some part of the day, I live in a desert so yes today was hot and she has been a bit dry and well chilling in her smaller bow I figured I would give her this one to drink from and submerge when she gets to hot or dry.

    BP's tend to soak a lot if they have mites. Is there any chance she could of came across them?

    How long have you had her? Also, is her belly pink? I have a few that soak when they're shedding even if I bump the humidity up over 70%. Perhaps they were BRB's in a prior life...

    Putting her on paper towels might make it easier to spot any mites.

    She could be soaking because her temps are too high, and trying to cool off, she also could be soaking due to mites. If you put her on papertowels, that will make it easier to see mites. I have never seen any of my snakes soak. How are you measuring her temps? And what are they? Also, those half log hides are horrible for bps, they dont provide enough security. I would get her some more snug and secure hides.

    Like DooLittle mentioned as well, 1/2 logs are not the best hides, these are very popular: http://www.reptilebasics.com/hide-boxes

    Oh yes I know about the logs, but that is half of her tank, I have a big log in there the small one will be getting out and I have the logs for helping her shed, I been looking into other things she can grow into but being at her size I am unsure what is to small or to big?

    As for when I got her, and she ate a rat the same day she NOMED quickly (must have been hungry!!!) umm Tempature, it 80's including at night and moisture is no issue it rained heavy. I live in a desert so its moist in here I have the window open (to allow no mold to happen)


    Umm I think I answered everything?


    ROFL I got her yesterday

    She also needs a hot spot of 90. And no, you didnt answer how your measuring temps? You dont want hides they can " grow into". You will have to buy multiple as she grows. They need to be snug and dark and secure. They dont need logs to help them shed. They can rub against the glass or themselves, as long as your humidity is right, shedding won't be a problem. Mine shed their skin into a little roll, inside their hides. As previously recommend the reptile basics hides are the best, imo. Also, please read over this-
