    Whistling after a bath.

    I just gave my big female a bath and she was dubking her head but afterwards I could hear her whistling. Is this a sign of an RI or is it just because she was clearing the water out of her nose?

    why were you giving your snake a bath? Yes it was probably water, either that or she was just ticked off.

    Is a bath a bad thing for snakes?

    Not a bad thing, just unnecessary

    They do not need to have a bath, this can cause unnecessary stress and please do not bathe your BP when it goes into pre shed.

    When my snakes go into shed I only bump the humidity and leave them alone. I would never bathe them while in shed.

    Then why are you giving them a bath in the first place?
