Hey I got a pair of het pieds about two months ago the male is about 600 grams and the female 750... The male has been soaking in his water bowl for about 4 days straight now. I will take him out to check if he is fine and make sure his scales aren't doing anything funky. However when i googled ball pythons doing this most people said it was due to mites or going to shed. the snake is showing no signs of shedding after four days no darker skin or blue eyes nothing that would indicate a shed so i'm worried he might have mites. I also googled images of mites and compared what came up with my snake and found (atleast what it seems to me) zero mites. Not in his water bowl, on him or on his cage... anyone know why he might be doing this, if they go into there water bowl this early before a shed? he hasn't shed since i've had him so it could be that? i just assumed he wouldn't considering his cage stays between 50% and 60% humidity and he also has a humidity box that i put in when i first noticed him doing it any input would be appreciated thanks
