My snakes also drink from the dish. I have only seen snakes soak in the dish for 3 reasons...1) dehydration, 2) mites, 3) cage is too hot. Obviously none of these are good. My snakes also hang out at night in the "open" part of their cage. I would guess your snake is doing normal snake things. If he fetches your slippers get a picture!!!!

I have one that soaks before a shed, and one that never soaks and always has a good shed; then I have another one that would soak all day long, every day if I left a dish in there big enough! I have seen all of my snakes drink from their water dish at various times - it's kinda cool to see!
If yours wags his tail when you get home, get a pic of that, too!
Good luck!
