Is it normal?

he's about 240grams and this is the first time he's done what I've described and i've had him sinve october last year same temps. but maybe he may have changed his tastes for his temps...? and yes he does use his warm side .. this was again a once in a lifetime occurence that lasted no more that 5 minutes... I just got concerned because i've never seen him do that before.. and also because i read the they try to drown mites that way but there are no mites and he didn't stay in long at all...

well if it was only 5 minutes i wouldnt worry about it too much.
as for mites if you think you might have them or there is a chance you could get them at one point i would get some provent-a-mite

My pastel male is just sitting in his water .. not all the way just his first half.. is this normal.. I read somewhere that they only sit in water to kill parisites but Ive inspected him and his cage nothing's there at all and I clean with bleach and water every week or so... just concerned because I've never seen him sit ihn his water dish at all before... oh wait he moved he's getting out.. he only stayed in for a dip i guess..

my water bowl is a Tupperware with a door style lid and a large hole in a side (helps prevent the crusty film that usually bakes onto my bowl) and my girl will occasionally go in there and rest her head outside of it on a rock and then when she leaves she leaves behind a nice poop in the water

different snakes like to do different stuff, your guy might just like to go for the occasional dip to cool off!!
