OK, I picked up this little one on Sunday. It seemed to be a bit dehydrated, head was very dry looking and it's really thin, under fed maybe? Anyway, when I got home from practice yesterday it was soaking in the water bowl, no biggie right? Well when I left for the office this morning I checked on it before I left and once again it was soaking in the water bowl. How much soaking is too much? After it soaks, should I dry it off? Im concerned a bit because of scale rot. It has no mites (as far as I can tell) but I know that is one reason that they will soak.

Also, I fed it last night and the little thing ate like a champ so that made me feel better

But whats with all the time being spent in the water bowl????

I have never seen either of my other 2 BPs soaking.

Someone please put my nerves at ease

The conditions it was kept in before I got it were less than par - no UTH, no hides, no water bowl...poor little thing.

Any ideas?
