Thanks for reading. To clarify he's not soaking, he just dunked his head underwater really quickly and then did it again immediately after drinking. I checked him out very thoroughly before purchase (I had 3 other bps I was considering) and I didn't see anything suspicious. He is going into shed though so I don't know if that makes a difference?
