BP Looks Slightly Dehydrated

[Miles]

So I noticed that my month old BP looks a little dehydrated on his head (his scales look dry around the edges). He spends a good amount of time soaking in his water bowl and I was wondering if this was normal or should I be doing something to help him 'rehydrate'.

Does you BP have mites?

If you see a couple dry scales, it might just be a little stuck shed.

Does he soak a lot? If so, you might have yourself a case of mites.

He had mites and I got rid of them for em with a solution that kills the lil buggers. So if he had mites that could do it?

Soaking is not normal behavior. Are you sure he still doesn't have mites? What did you use to treat them with? And how are your temps? I'm asking in case he might be too hot or something....

The dry scales on his head is probably just old shed.

the hot side is 90 and the cool side it stays around 85. He had mites and I treated him for them on tuesday. I havn't seen any mites on him since then.
