Blowing bubbles....
Anybody else have their ball python blow bubbles in water? I.e. when soaking them due to a bad shed, putting new water in tank, etc.
All 3 of my balls have now blown bubbles at some point when I've put new water in their tank or soaked them. 
They just kinda dunk their head under and blow bubbles out of their nose.

I've never seen any of mine doing that, but that doesn't mean that they don't. I just haven't caught them yet...

Since we are on the topic of soaking... Should I be soaking my little guy once in a while even if he doesn't have a bad shed? If so, how many times a week? Thanks

No, soaking should only be necessary. Only for bad sheds or if they are covered in poo. Soaking removes the essential oils under their skin, which can in turn cause a bad shed for the future.

Re: Blowing bubbles....
One of my females used to do it every time I changed her water - she hasn't done it in a while though. It was cute.

Yeah, it made me giggle. Definitely reminded me of a kid with chocolate milk  (like myself!)
Except they plunge their WHOLE head under the water and just blow tons of bubbles out of their nose! It's really cute--well, it was once I checked all my husbandry and that came up clean, and checked their mouths and those were fine, and then I discovered it was just blowing bubbles that weren't R.I. related hehehe.
All three of the ball pythons have done it--nothing like it with the corn snakes.
Guess we've got some goof balls here
