I'm no snake expert, so someone else here can verify or negate this, but I don't believe snakes soak to cool off - literally or figuratively. I'm pretty sure they do it for moisture needs, hence them doing it when they're shedding. Snakes can thermoregulate just fine without a dish of water. And you said so yourself that it could have cooled his temps and made him sicker, so why you're confused about it being a bad idea is a mystery to me. To my mind, it would make much more sense to keep the water in the moderate temperatures so that the snake could use the water without it raising or lowering its body temperature too much, especially if you know it's sick.

I'm pretty sure that's not what he said.
