While this idea doesn't pertain to burms, my boas soak a lot.

They soak uner two conditions. Heat from the heatlamps (I'm switching over to RHPs), and when temps drop.



You mentioned your house temp is 75*, but what is your cage temp?

UTH don't provide a whole lot of heat, especially if something is blocking the heat they receive.

I'm thinking your temps are two low.

The reason I'm using my boas ( all different species) instead of my burms as examples... dont give my burms bowls big enough to soak in. Nor do I do that for my boas, but they manage to squeeze into the bowls.

Check your cage temps.
