    Here are the things that can lead a BP to soak

    Low humidity and being close to shedding time.

    High Temps.

    Mites

    Insecurity (the animal uses the water dish as an hide)

    Too big of a meal

    and because they can and while rare some like to soak again it very rare.

    Re: Snake soaking in water bowl

    Mine does the same thing. She doesn't like it when the water is warmer but as soon as the water gets cold she goes right in. She kind of freaks me out sometimes because she sucks her whole head under water so I pull her out but she just keeps putting her head under water. I will check the temps again but I'm pretty sure it's not to warm in there. It may be humidity issues but I have an other girl in there with her that she was raised with so she is used to her (I know they're not really supposed live together but they have always been together) but the other girl doesn't like to soak, and she's in shed. So my main girl most likely just likes to soak.

    It`s maybe time to shed.
    Some balls like to soak in water bowl before shed.
