My 1.0 poss. het pied loves to just sit in his water dish but I can't figure out why. He isn't shedding and nor does he have mites, what could be causing this? This isn't like and hour or two but almost everytime I check on him, he is in there.

If you've ruled out shedding and mites there are a couple of other reasons why he could be in there. He feels more secure in the water dish than his hide (do you have an appropriate sized hide for him) or he is dehydrated (check your humidity levels). Snakes will soak if they have injuries or skin irritations, etc give him a good looking over to rule out that being a cause also. And make sure that you keep his water clean.
