Still trying to swim in water dish?

[Sonny1318]

Following up with my last post, I've been seeing my baby ball python trying to swim in his water dish. I did inspect him for mites but I didn't see anything on his chin, in his eye, or in his scales. He does have black spec like scales, but when I ran my finger across them they were smooth. It seems that Russos also have those kinds of markings. There was nothing in his water bowl except a fuzzy and a tiny tiny red oval thing. But I did not have a magnifying glass to inspect it. He's been in his water bowl 2 or 3 times already this morning. I'll look into getting mite spray today if I can.
But what could be going on with him?

If he is in and out of his water dish like you described, something either is off with your husbandry or you most likely have mites. Good luck.
