    if your regulating your viv temps it shouldn't get hot enough that it has to sit in its water to cool off. probably a shed coming if they don't have mites.

    Reasons I'd think about...

    Mites
    Shedding soon
    Low humidity
    Too big of hides (water touches all sides, makes them feel hidden)

    Check your husbandry for anything different that could get them to go soak. Balls arent really known for soaking.
