It would be easier to provide advice if you could give full details of the enclosure, size, temps, humidity, number of hides, size of water bowl and substrate :)

hello and welcome

i have read that,some snakes like to go into their water bowl after a feed

re another reason...

it may be mites

mites are little full stop size black dots..... that move around

swab your snakes eyes and nostrils with a WHITE cotton bud,if you see little black dots that move,then squish one between your finger tips,it will smear into a reddish black blob,being that they feed on blood

they are easy to treat.....

i use PROVENT A MITE...

use once mites dead,it's that simple

re temperature
check your temperatures,as another reason for being in the water bowl is,that the tanks too hot

as said some snakes like their bowl after eating

cheers shaun
