Hey im kind of new to the forums. I have had my BP for about couple months now. Hes about 2-3 ft long and couple years old. I have a 40 Gal tank, Aspen bedding, 2 hides- one cold - one hot. I have 2 thermometers ( one under the warm hide and one outside in the tank) Both thermometers have probes on them and are at bedding level. The humidity in my tank stays roughly at 50-60 cuz i mist the tank once or twice a day. For heating i use a UTH attached to a temp gauge that keeps the warm hide between 88-92. For ambient temp in the tank i use an overhead lamp with a control 150 watt but i usually dont max it out. Also has a red light so the BP dosent get annoyed.

Now for my question. My BP has been eating fine on a regular basis. He just finished his shed about a week ago. He has no mites i check him daily and/or every other day. But he constantly is in his water bowl. He's in it all night and sometimes during the day too. Anyone know why this could be? I read places it could be because of shedding or mites. He just finished his shed and im pretty sure theres no mites but just to be safe im going to get the mite killer stuff. Any advice would help. On my tank, on why he sleeps in there all the time, Anything. Still kind of new to this whole thing. Thank you in advance!
