Oh okies,

He hardly ever does, and he only shed a little, the temp was 26 ish as the thermostat just turned back on..

He wasnt all in it just one little bit :) so was just wondering :) think he must have just be taking a dip :)

Can also be a sign of mites.

I know my boas that had mites would often be found in their water bowls. Infact the mites could be sen in the bowl afterwards.

As above it can also be a sign they are going into shed. Or they just want to take a dip!

I think usually because they may be too hot, or maybe trying to loosen up some skin for a shed maybe :)
