    Soaking Male BP
    We got three new Bps last week for sure one had mites so I am sure they all do.I have treated with pam,soaked in water,soaked in soap water and sprayed with Jurassi Mite.I couldn't find reptile releif.I have went over every inch of them with a magnifying glass and have not seen a mite.I also don't see dead mites in the encloser or water bowls so I think I have killed the mites.But I still have the male soaking for long periods. What do you think?
    Thanks. Mike.

    Mine did that too. First it was because he had mites, I got ride of the mites and then after that he did it right before he shed. My mistake was his humidity was only about 35 durning his shed, should be up around 50+. Since I fixed that, he's stopped soaking. Every once in a while he'll soak, but only about 5-10min, which is far less than the hours he would soak before. Hope this helps.
