The only time I've ever seen any of my snakes voluntarily soak was when I got a mite infestation with 3 new snakes. I also don't bathe them unless they have blood or poo on them, and even then I usually just run them through a wet paper towel. There is the occasional "freak" that soaks for no good reason, but more often than not, they'd much rather be nice and cozy in their hides rather than in a big wet thing![]()
