    Have you checked them all very closely for mites. If temps, humidity, hides and all else are correct, I'd be concerned that all the soaking is due to them seeking relief from mites.

    Re: Q????

    No mites and temps are right it could be one of two things.

    1: a security issue..i.e your snake feels safer smashed in its water bowl.

    2: its doing it to help relieve some pressure after a meal.

    3: it saw the pretty water dish and decided to move in..

    I had a pastel male take up residence in his water bowl.. I had to change him to a smaller one.. He still tried for like a week and gave up.

    Re: Q????

    What are you using for hides? If you are sure it isn't mites and everything else is ok, then I'd guess the snake just feels secure in there, which may mean it does not feel secure in its hide.

    Small hides that will give them a feeling of security is good idea. Also, if there is a lot of room in their enclosure, you can crumble up new paper to fill up space. We've used that technique with our smallest ones until they get comfortable and a little bigger.
