Recently my BP was soaking a lot, around 4-5 hours/day and i was getting concerned that she may have mites. I looked at the water dish and her and i couldnt see anything..Now, ive only had her for about 3 weeks now so i wasn't too familar with BP and they act. I've had a corn snake for about 6 months now. The good part though, she is shedding! I'm so glad it wasnt mites!
