    Aside from mites and shedding...

    Why would a BP be chilling in their water bowl?

    My biggest female has been attached to her water bowl for 2 weeks now and hasn't eaten in that time. She shed and ate just the week before that. I have inspected for mites but found none.

    Any ideas?

    Temps are 80(ambient)-90(hot). Humidity about 45%.

    If they need a little more humidity they will sit in a water bowl, or to cool off!

    BP can and will soak if their meal is to big and they will also soak if their hides are not secure enough, using their water dish as an hide.

    And of course every now and than while rare you have the ones that just like to soak.
