Need feedback on this new male we got. Picked him up last night, the man said straight up he tends to keep them thin. We also got a juvenile female from him who is of a healthy weight.
He was in his water bowl this morning but not seeing any mites. Would love feedback on him.

While BP rarely soak here are some reasons why they may.
Mites
Security, using the water dish because hides are not secure enough (generally seen in hatchlings)
Overheating
Recent meal that is too large
Shed

@stewart_reptiles basically hit the nail on the head but sometimes mine just like to go in the water bowl just cause

Mine has also been known to take a soak every once and a while. Nothing that I see as wrong as long as it isnât like constant. Also that ball doesnât look thin to me⌠Maybe not plump⌠But certainly not like neglectful thin.

@hhpythons the male doesnât even look to be âskinnyâ in my opinion. Some people donât grow their males over 1000-1200 grams if they are breeding them. Sometimes a very large male will become lazy and refuse to breed. That doesnât happen always, but it does happen.

I have one who doesnât 
a sugar male that isnât a strong breeder we cut back on his food because he was our âgarbage disposalâ that always ate the extra food that we had thawed out. Havenât tried to breed him again but hopefully with a new lean mean heâll try to breed
