Probably just got a soaker then lol. Maybe you will get lucky and have one that poops in the water too making clean up easy :D
Re: And my girlfriend purchased a red tail boa
My boa soaked a lot when I brought him home but it only lasted for 2 weeks and he hasn't done it since. Now he spends most of his time with his butt in his hide and the other 4 feet burrowed with just his face peeking out

I just assumed mine felt more secure in the water until he adjusted to his new home

That is possible. Tip of her nose and the tip of her tail was the only thing not in the water.

Is this bad for her health wise? Should I move the water to the warm side so the water will warm up a little?

She does have mites!!!!!! Treatment will begin tonight right after work. My Girlfriend saw some in her water this morning. Good thing she is quarantined. Might treat everyone though. Even my dogs! Don't like infestations.

I have not researched breeding them because I have no intentions of doing so. Thanks for the info. I am going on a mite killing spree tonight. :taz::taz::taz::taz:
