Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Soaking Ball Python.
This snake has had be baffled for a while now. He is always chilling in his water dish. But there are no mites. I have kept him on paper towels to make sure there where no black specs on them checked him out thoroughly and i dont see any mites what so ever. Not only that but he is housed in the same rack as my other ball pythons who very rarely sit in their bowls. Is it possible he just likes water?

Not Balls, but I have 4 boas, only one of whom soaks for long periods of time; might just be a preference.

Very possible. I have an evil male who sits in his water dish all day and nothings the matter with him except his piss poor attitude.

Are the temps fine. I noticed when one of my balls got a little over heated she would sit in a water dish. I backed off the hot side temp a little and she stopped doing it. this was a while back with the first ball I got. Check the belly and see if it looks a little like small cracks. They won't be very deep and hardly noticable but I noticed when this happens on the belly they are starting to get over heated. Also check for wrinkles and stuff. I have yet to see a ball who will sit and soak for a long time. Not saying its not possible. Just a few thoughts. Hope everything is good and nothing is wrong.

Does he have a snug hide? If not, he could be telling you he wants one.
