Either they have it too hot, or the snakes have mites. The one time I saw the snakes at the pet stores in water dishes, they had mites. You could actually see them crawling on them. EWWWW.
Lol.

I have actually noticed it here as well.
As the temperatures go up, outside, their habitats get warmer.
Even though the pet stores are air conditioned the over-all temperature in spring and summer will be a few degrees warmer then the winter months.
Just enough to prompt them to soak a little more often.
Mites can cause it too but I have seen it several times where no mites were present.
