Corn Snake Health

Question
It seems that my corn snake isn't in the best of health. Just a week ago, she tipped over her water bowl and was under it for a while before I caught her. I changed out her cage, but just yesterday, I saw that she was in her water bowl. I picked her and she felt cold to the touch and a little sluggish. Should I be taking her to the vet?

Answer
If she spends a lot of time in the waterbowl she could have mites. It would probably be a good idea to look for mites in the tank but they are really hard to see so a vet may be able to check your snake over and look for mites. What are the temperatures in the tank?
