Loki is my three year old male Pastel Super Stripe. I've had him for a month and 18 days.
I went out of town for ten days. Not a huge deal, fed him before a left and fed him when I got back.
That was the 7th when I came home. A few days ago, so about four or five days after, he started soaking. Daily.
I've checked his temperatures and humidity, everything is good. Checked for mites both on him and if there was anything moving in the water, nothing. And he doesn't seem stressed and is still eating. (I've checked my other reptiles and no signs of mites either) His eyes aren't cloudy like he's about to shed either.
So why is he soaking? He'll explore all night, slithering around his house, acting fine. But when I wake up in the afternoon (night shift worker) he's in his bowl. As I type this, his whole body is submerged except his head.
Does he just like water? Is that just something he just wanted to start doing? That seems to be a strange thing to just start happening.
