Laying in her water dish

[joepythons]

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

I am not trying to be rude but the wraping themselves around there water bowls after mating is a first for me.This is my second year breeding ball pythons and i have never observed or heard this .If anyone else has heard about this please let me know.
