Frequent soaking?

[Trollbie]

90% of the time I check on the new baby girl, I find her soaking in her water dish. From what I've been reading, the reasons could be mites, temps, or shedding.

She for sure doesn't have mites. I looked her over carefully.

Her hot side temps stay around 90 and don't go over 94-95. Her cool side temps range between 80 and 86, depending on the day and time of day. There's no AC in this apartment so I haven't figured out how to keep the cool side temps any lower.

And since I've only had her a week, I can't tell if she's about to go into shed or not...


Do yall think she's just cooling down since her cool side temps aren't that ideal?

I haven't seen anything about snakes soaking just because they like it so I am a little concerned.
