Getting the Borneo girl to soak is a very easy process. I simply put a pan of water in the tub and in she goes. Taking the pan of water back out is another story. I need to remove the pan of water because over time the humidity goes through the roof. So after about 2 hours of soaking I open the tub to take the pan out and she looks like a different snake. I am floored, her head is not tan it is yellow. I had to ask her, who are you and what did you do with my snake? LOL. So is this something that they do (the color change) or is it because she was not feeling well.
