New Behavior after moving from cage to tub
Moved my s snake "collection" a few days ago from cages to 32qt tubs. My 1500g+ female has spent some time the last 24 hours curled up in the water bowl on cool side (78 deg), as well as on the warm side (89) in the hide.
Humidity is 60% plus. I never really noticed her spending this much time, if any, in the waterbowl, though it's possible I simply wasnt peeking as often as I am now.
She is due for a shed, but other than that, is there something else I am missing?
In prior cage, temps were similar, except during the day there was overhead heat from 50w red bulbs, where that does not exist any more.
None of the other snake are showing any real behavioral changes

Check temps, if too hot she may soak. Also take a good look around for mites. They soak when they have mites.

If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

No Mites
Temps fine
Maybe hot spot is too big for % of enclosure vs past?

Maybe. Most people use 41 qt containers.

Maybe the old red bulb dried her up a little and shes trying to rehydrate?

After my snakes reach 1200g or more I move them up to 41 qt. Just my rule and they seem to adjust well.

How many hides are in the tub?

Only 1. At that, the hide and water bowl take up most of the space
