Hey,

So I posted a while ago about tips for setting up a good ball python tank and I think I have everything fine now. Hotspot is 90, cool side is 79-81, and humidity is typically 54-57.

I did check her for mites last week when she spent all night in her water bowl the night after I fed her, but I didn't see her hanging out in her water bowl anymore and I don't think I saw signs of mites, so I wasn't worried. Her feeding day is Wed, so I fed her and all Wednesday night and now tonight, she's spent all night in her water dish (and in one of her hides during the day). Is it odd/should I be worried?

It's set up kind of similar to this: http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...With-Pictures!

Could her heat lamp being above her water dish make her want to curl up there?
