They will basically spend the majority of their time hiding lol.

Another reason they will go into their bowl is if they're nearing a shed cycle, and perhaps the humidity isn't up to par.

Are you using a screen top? This could possible be why your snake is soaking :gj:.

As far as the poo, I wouldn't worry to much. He will go when he needs to.

As for the soaking- first thing that would cross my mind is to look for mites. Bps aren't typically soakers, unless something is wrong. Second would be, is he too hot? What are his temps? How do you control them? As for the hides, are they snug and secure?

My normal poops after he sheds, mostly urates any other time. I am not totally sure if that's okay but he seems fine to me...

He doesn't have mites but his belly has some brown/grey spots. Could that be fungus?

Yes, I use a screen top. The humidity ranges from 70 to 80 percent :-)

What are you using to measure that humidity? Kinda weird that it's so high yet he's soaking. Soaking almost every time is a sign that something is wrong. These spots you mentioned could possibly be related. It might be causing discomfort. Possibly scalerot? Definitely get us some pictures of that

I just found out, that the brownish spots are totally normal. I thought he was suppose to be totally white. It's not scale rot. I use analog hydrometer.

I will add pictures...
