I just got concerned because i've never seen him do that before.. and also because i read the they try to drown mites that way but there are no mites and he didn't stay in long at all...

well if it was only 5 minutes i wouldnt worry about it too much.
as for mites if you think you might have them or there is a chance you could get them at one point i would get some provent-a-mite

my water bowl is a Tupperware with a door style lid and a large hole in a side (helps prevent the crusty film that usually bakes onto my bowl) and my girl will occasionally go in there and rest her head outside of it on a rock and then when she leaves she leaves behind a nice poop in the water :)

different snakes like to do different stuff, your guy might just like to go for the occasional dip to cool off!!
