New BP Owner - He's soaking a lot?
Hi all,
I just adopted my new friend (Burrito) about a month ago. He's eating successfully but I've noticed he's started soaking in his water dish A LOT in the last week. I've checked him for mites several times, as that is what other posts suggest... and his humidity seems fine too! I use a humidifier set up to a humidity gauge so it really never drops below 50% humidity and is normally closer to 60%... Is it possible he just really likes soaking? Or is this a possible indicator he's about to go into shed? Should I be at all concerned?
Many thanks!

Oh there's a thought! It's at about 78.

Soaking can be due to
Shed
Mites
Temps too high
Humidity too low
Recent large meal
Lack of security, hides not being secure enough leading to your snake to use his water dish for security
Yes you should be concern if it persists as BP rarely soak.
