If you are very concerned, it never hurts to pop into a vet and have a check-up and a fecal sample tested since this is a new snake to you. You can put in a smaller water bowl, not big enough to soak in, that way you can see if it is the water he is after or the comfort. If he tries to get himself in a smaller bowl then there may be an underlying reason he wants/needs to soak. I honestly think it is a security issue, he is comfortable in there. My bp will NOT use him warm hide if is over 90, so it stays 88-90, and my cool hide is about 80.Originally Posted by lenastorms
Just thought I'd post an update... Only because this new BP is spending a LOT of time in the water bowl.
Last night was feeding night...once again ate like a champso no worries there.
Temps are spot on...so no worries there.
But seriously this snake is in the water bowl every day for hours at a time. Every morning when I leave its in the bowl. Every afternoon when I come home its in the bowl.
Tank is cluttered with plants so I'm confident the little thing feels safe. Other than feeding & cleaning the water bowl I've been leaving it alone.
I know ya'll said not to worry...but this just seems so odd.
Don't worry too much!
