Bath time? ^_^

Well I woke up this morning and went to check on Elysia. Hmm I don't see here anywhere... Then my eyes locked on:

Lol I was just talking about soaking yesterday and wake up to find her soaking in her waterbowl ^_^ Does this mean she is going to shed? She doesn't LOOK like shes going to shed yet, no cloudy eyes or anything.

Maybe she just wanted an early morning swim.

Lol maybe ^_^

If I were a snake i'd enjoy a bit of water now and then.

Yeah ^_^ Especially yesterday was AWFUL, 93% humidity outside with a dewpoint of 65. It was just terrible. I'm sure she just took a little swim last night to beat the sticky weather.

Told you she'd soak if she wanted to. Could be about to shed or just wanted to cool off (of course there's the dreaded reason: mites). I wouldn't worry. That's so cute!

snakes soak when they need it :)
Ive noticed that Colubrids tend to soak a bit more than others...
Double check to make sure she doesnt have any mites. If something is irritating them they soak to relieve the itch/pain.
Im sure she is fine though..
I could go for a swim myself! its been hot lately...

She doesn't have mites. I was holding her and examining her for 15min today an didn't see anything.

However, if I find her soaking again should I be worried? o_O

nah, I wouldnt be worried. How are your temps? She could just be cooling off.

My temps are 89-93 on the hotside and around 83 on the coldside. She spents time on both sides.

Again I'm pretty sure she was soaking to bear the sticky humid weather yesterday. It was just horrible horrible horrible.

Just taking a dip I say.

I bet she will be super happy on Friday when she gets to eat again ^_^

Tomorrow might be another bad day though T_T

Well I woke up today to find Elysia in her water bowl again which has me a bit worried now. But then again the humidity was at 50% *nowhere near the highest it has been* But the temp was at 95, so maybe the the thermostat bugged and let it go too high and she went swimming? I'll handle her again later today and examine her but I'm pretty sure she doesn't have mites.

I bet that's it - she was just rying to cool off wiht the 95 degree temp.

Yeah it has to be, because I held her for 30min today *just put her back in her tank* and she doesn't have mites, though she might be getting ready to shed, maybe next week ^_^

Well I woke up again and for the 3rd day in a row I found Elysia in her water bowl which has me worried. She does not have mites anywhere on her and I haven't seen any in her cage at all. I have also never seen Elysia in the water bowl other then in the morning when I wake up, in fact she never even goes near it during the day or night when I see her. Only seems to be in there early morning. So I figure she doesn't have mites or she wouldn't be in there at the exact same time every morning. Could she just be going for a morning swim everyday now that she is comfortable? Maybe she is trying to beat the humidity? She seems perfectly healthy to me.

Well, so long as everything else seems in order...maybe this is just her little quirk. :) I would continue to keep an eye out for mites, as I've heard many stories of how they were "definitely not there" one day, and the next day they seemed to be everywhere. But it's probably just her being her unique little self.

I wouldn't be too worried. But I don't know much about MBK so there could be soemhting wrong.

I feel a bit better today cause I woke up and Elysia was not in her water bowl but in her cold hide ^_^ Just makes me feel a bit better I guess
