Thank you for your help!

Actually, snakes sometimes lie in their water dishes briefly when they are going to shed or have a big meal. Also, female snakes "cool" themselves (wrap themselves around their waterdish and seek the cooler side) after they have mated, and I believe when they have recieved.
I was wondering how long it takes before they show this behavior after mating.
P.s. I would have not mated her if she had mites
