Aquatic Blood

[Pythonian]

I just want to make sure everything is ok, My blood for the past two days has been soaking in her waterbowl on and off. she'd lay in it for about 20 minutes then go back in her hide for a few hours then back in the water. I don't think she is going into shed cause her colors are still quite striking, and she has no mites, and the humidity in the enclosure isn't too low. I just wanna make sure she is probably just chilling in there right? just cause she likes it?

My blood sits in the water bowl almost all day... From what i know they are swamp snakes and they enjoy it. Some would say to check for mites for most species but mine is 100% clean and it just enjoys being in there! :D

yea thats what i thought.. i should give her a little innertube to play with in there :) and some other pool toys.

like whose diving rings that u throw in the water and dive down and get them as fast as u can... she can't play with them all day!!

Its normal for snakes to soak.

I wish mine were like that. Mine never goes in its waterbowl, ever. It sits in the same spot all day and doesn't do anything. What a lazy snake!

yea mine makes regular trips from his "house" to his waterbowl .. back to his "house" to the side of the waterbowl "back to his house" etc .. etc... and etc... that is his daily activities
