    What up with my BPs?

    Four days ago i noticed my 1.0 het albino soaking in his water dish. Today he's still there. But tonight 2 other males climbed in too and two of my other BPs are loitering next to their dish!

    They've never done this before. Anyone know why they're doing it now?

    Either check for mites. Or they are cooling them selves for Breeding..

    No one has mites. I had to deal with that once with my beardie and ever since i'm obsessive with everyone about checking for them.


    You may be right about the cooling idea though, they are breeding age.

    My adults are all hanging out on top of their hides and much more active. They are in different locations in my home and temps are stable. I asked Adam about it, and one of the thoughts was also self-cooling (there were others, but that was one of them).

    You have them in seperate enclosures right? Or are we talking about one water dish?

    Re: What up with my BPs?

    Thats quite possible too. They haven't had a b/m in a while. I hope its not that though. Makes quite a mess when they do it in the water dish! Had one do it a few days ago, YUCK.
