My boas did this when they had mites.
Have you checked for mites? |

so should i only offer her a soaking area every other day maybe or something like that 1 day with 1 day with out...
this is my first snake but my roomate had a ball python that i picked alot of stuff up from, but this is my first snake and would like the best experience for me and her that i can get..
and what would a water blister look like is it something i will notice right away? ATM she has great skin very shiny and smooth |

My kingsnake would do the same thing, I don't think it was for any particular reason other than she enjoyed it. Just be careful, my girl developed a large water blister with this habit, that I'm treating right now. |

shes about 8 or 9 months old ive had her for 3 months and she has shed twice, once just last week...temps are 80-85 in hot part and 70-75 in cool, has lots of hides and what not but insists on going in the hide with water in it. and like i said i tried dropping the temp a few degrees and she just stayed in the water, when i touched her and the water it seem very cold for her to just wanna sit in.. |
