    Snakes head underwater??

    As soon as my female BP ate I saw that her entire head was underwater so I removed her and put her hide back in and she went back into her hide. She is mite-free and temps are perfect 80-82f ambient and 90-92f hot spot. Is it normal her entire head was submerged underwater? I even saw her take her head out and put it back in and that's when I removed her head from the bowl. After I took her out she has not done it again and she is now in her hide. I know it's probably nothing to worry about but I just want to make sure! Thanks in advance.

    All my snakes have gone swimming and have had their head under the water, even my GTP. He actually swims a lot and is really good at it. He enters his bowl, goes under, and then blows bubbles as he swims around.

    I don't think you have anything to worry about.
