    Exclamation Ball python soaking alot when im not holding him for a week.

    my ball python has never soaked in his water bowl before. but since he has not been eating ive decided to not hold him for one week. so now he has been soaking in his water bowl more often. do you think he is soaking all of the sudden due to a lack of stress. and he wasnt soaking due to stress before this week of solitary confinement? does this ever happen to you?

    that's probably why he's soaking then. maybe he needs a little boost.

    Have you looked for mites? And how is your female albino acting?

    I would guess he's too hot or too dry.

    Sounds like a shed.

    Did you get my Private Message with the video tutorial on uploading and putting an image inside a thread?
