New silver phase red tailed green rat snake and question

[babyboa97]

I got a wild caught silver phase red tail green rat snake two days ago and I set him up and he's doing well. I even offered him a small meal that was a left over from another snake and to my surprise he took it readily. Anyways. I know this is a higher humidity snake so I anticipated an prepared for that. But I noticed he likes to spend more time than I imagined in his water bowl soaking. I just wanted to know if it's normal for this specie to spend time soaking. I was concerned and I checked for mites but nope he is nice and clean.
This is my first experience with this rat snake but I had experience with ball pythons. True red tail boas. Boa constrictors. Tiger rat snake. Yellow ratsnake, corns. King snakes. Vine snakes. Retics. And some amazon tree boas and local venomous snakes I've herped so I'm not a beginner snake keeper or handler.
Thanks in advance
