I try to use water bowls large enough to soak in however I find that most of my snakes [kings and milks] rarely, if ever, use them for that purpose. If I also give them a dish of some sort full of wet moss then I catch them soaking in that on a semi-regular basis.

For my ball python I have a large ceramic dog bowl. He can easily fit inside it..oddly enough, whenever it's full of water he never goes in, but as soon as its empty, I often find him curled up inside it...very strange I think.

My boa, she never soakes, just drinks
