Why do BP's do this?

sometimes my ball will just soak random parts of its body in its water bowl.. and for long periods of time like an hour or so maybe longer.. is there a reason for it? because i know its not shedding or anything

Could be mites she wants to drom,check the water bowl for little black dots on the ground.
And check her for little mites crawling around,especially around the eyes.

i dont think its mites.. my ball has been doing this from around the time i got it and just once in awhile not everyday

Mites are a possibility, however not always the case. Both of my males will randomly soak parts of themselves for a few hours at a time. I'm starting to notice a pattern on that though, as they tend to do it a week or so before going into blue.

well I don't know, what's the humidity?

i dont know.. but i know its fine because it always sheds perfectly.. this doesnt happen to the rest of you? i know its not mites because i just checked all around its body and eyes and i didnt see anything

feedback any1? lol

Do I understand correctly that you don't know the humidity in your snakes enclosure?

Ball will do this for many reasons. They are trying to get cooler than what the cool side can offer them, soaking to try and help a BM along, they ate arecently and are soaking to help support some of their body, mites, a shed in coming, they may be slightly dehydrated. There are many many reasons for a ball soaking some or just the nature of the animal some are health related. Best thing to do is just watch and see when you snake soaks keep notes: times, enviromental changes, did it feed, shed so on then you will know for sure.

Best of luck hope that helps

how long have you had it? A couple years or a couple months?
