Soaking?

Soaking update....

One thing I forgot to mention in my original post (as I didn't think there was any possible correlation)- his light had gone out about a week prior to the start of his soaking, around Nov16-18th (I have the LED strip from AP cages).
He started to soak almost nightly for the next two weeks (starting Dec 6th), and sometimes most of the day...and refused to eat...
I deep cleaned his cage, I checked and re-checked his temps, checked for mites or injury, I covered the front of the cage for more shelter, he wasn't dull, never went into blue, nothing changed the behavior
His new lights finally came in (12/17) and I took his tank apart to install them and deep cleaned (again) while I was at it...

He has not soaked since resuming his regular day/night cycle.



He went through a normal shed last week and ate tonight as normal. I still don't understand...ball pythons are enigmas...

You & me both- Just be glad he's back to normal, I guess. (I think some snakes are like "Ha ha, made you look!" ?)
