WELL.... it depends on the snake i think.. i have a cal king who loves to dump her water bowl over and if i dont catch it ASAP she gets scale rot easily. I think shes just "special" but usually i keep her dry- take the water from her and only give the water bowl to her and place her head near the water so she can drink. i dont usually leave the water in there when shes having an "Attack". she usually sheds it off with a shed or 2. but try to keep the humidity lower and if you catch it soaking take the water away. I'm sure there are people here who have a better explanation, but i've never had it on my BPs. Only that 1 cal king. i hope someone with better experience with BPs can chime in.. but thats what i do,... and make sure the tank is clean of poo!!! i've seen a petstore once with poo everywhere and the snake had scale rot b/c the poo was stuck all over the snake. it was really gross!!!
