BP in water bowl

[Gerardo]

My new BP has been in her water bowl throughout the whole day today. Just wondering what she is doing.

I suggest to take a really good look at her and make sure she doesn't have any little friends on her(mites), not saying for sure that's what it is but defiantly worth a check. Best of luck!

Thats the first thing i thought at first. But i got her from a very reputable breeder and i checked her myself. No mites.

Reputable breeder or not it can still have a case of mites. mites are not always seen by the naked eye until they grow to and adult size which is often too late. Check temps , that could also be a reason for soaking but I believe you have experience in snake keeping so my money is on that it has mites!

Ive never had a snake with mites before. What exactly should i look for?

Put her on white paper towels if she has mites you can see them ALOT better!

Little black bugs...

Mine only soaked when she had mites. when I bought her you couldn't see any. I didn't even notice them on her till a week later.

OR, she could be using it as a hide. Do you have other suitably sized hides for her in the cage?

What's your humidity like?
