Question about behavior.

drasticplastic Jun 24, 2004 01:45 PM

My BP is going into shed right now so he's not that active, I sprayed him with some warm water and some of the water drops were on the side of the cage by him. I glanced over and saw him drinking the water drops. Ever since I have had him (close to a year) I have never moved his water dish...he knows where it is...is this normal?

Lots of reptiles do this. In fact, some will not even drink from a bowl. I would not worry.

one of mine does that too. They can't really see while they are shedding so I don't think they want to really move around. So in other words sounds normal to me.
