    Nothing!

    I provide my BP with a 5 inches water dish and that's it.

    In most cases healthy, mite free BP provided with proper humidity rarely soak.

    Never provided any large dish for them to soak never had any problem.

    Re: what do you use for ur balls to soak in?

    Typically balls do not soak and it isn't a required part of their husbandry. When I need to soak a snake to remove a bad shed I use a large tupperware container with holes drilled into the lid but I don't have a permanent fixture in their enclosure for soaking.

    Re: what do you use for ur balls to soak in?

    While my balls have normal sized bowls, I haven't noticed any extra soaking. However, I do provide a big dog bowl for the breeding girls so that they can have as much humidity as they like (I do notice they soak more during this time).
