Only five of mine have bowls big enough to soak in, and none of them do. The only snake I ever had soak ended up having mites (even though I had pre-treated her with Reptile Relief before bringing her into my home). Turns out the eggs hatched 30 days later. Got my first (and only) can of Provent-A-Mite and treated her enclosure and she never soaked again.


Now I always pre-treat enclosures with P.A.M. and have not had to deal with mites again.
