Quick Question on drying out

[beanersmysav]

Well I've got two BP's coming this week from seperate owners which means I had to set up a spot, and cage in my guest room, and a hallway I don't really use since it only leads to the guest room, so I could keep the animals away from eachother (in case of mites etc), and definatly away from my other herps for the same reason. But I noticed one of the keepers I'm getting my female bp (who is 1,075 grams and beautiful) said to soak her for about 20 mins in luke warm water when I receive her because they dry out over the trip. Is this true? I mean I could see how it's definatly possible being exposed to those dry heat packs. Or do you think it's a possibility it has mites? She's got a good reputation and the snake looks great I was just wondering, as any other snake I've ever bought off line I was never informed of this. Either way I usually soak them to check for mites anyways.
