well i live in the same area as the person that you are giving advice to.I have more than a few bps.have you thought to ask if there are hide spots in the encloser.there are people who rais bps in racks and don't use hides,i don,t(in rack set ups)but after i feed a few of my snakes do spend a day or so soaking some more.i just asume they like the sucurity of being in the bowl while they are digesting.People are givinng advice on this thread which should not.The post was from edmonton Alberta Canada ware the temp was -25 c right now with no humidity,to say its mites or temp are to hot might not be correct due to the weather we are having right now.

If they soak, it is from either having mites or the temps are too high and they are trying to cool off.
That is the only times I have ever seen BP's soak.

I haven't even seen them soak prior to a shed.

Having scale rot in my opinion would never be a reason for a BP to soak.
