Not all will, but some will seasonally. And some seem to like it more. Also, it’s hard to see a snake soak when a large enough container is not provided. In other words, tiny water dishes are kinda hard to soak in. Just my opinion.
    Thank you, that thought had occurred to me as well, most large snakes , esp. those in tubs probably wouldn't have the opportunity to soak, I'm just somewhat surprised by the fact that she does so much of it and wondering if there's something I'm overlooking. The only reason I've heard/read that would explain excessive soaking is mites, but I'm pretty sure they're not an issue as I've checked pretty closely, and will continue to do so.
    Maybe she was an anaconda in her past life.
