one of my pythons does that all the time, just coz hes a weirdo
but it could be a sign of mites.
when hes out of the water have a look for little dots in the bottom of the bowl.
or maybe hes just a weirdo like mine

edit:
its your 1st post!! welcome to the site!

Does he look like he's coming into shed? I used to have a large Diamond who'd do the same thing a few days before going into shed.

might spray thats good ..i will look at the water as soon as hes out of it .

Like the others before me said, check his bowl for the black dots which is a good indication you have mite trouble. If you do I have heard that T.O.D. (Top of descent) is a very good product to eliminate mites but follow the instructions on the can... You can buy this product in most reptile shops or on line from places like The Herp Shop.. I hope it all works out for you...
