Bathing
Do you guys give your ball pythons baths. And if so how often?

Re: Bathing
only if they've managed to get poop all over them! or if there's some stuck shed i need to help remove.
bathing a snake is not necessary for a healthy animal, and can actually create a really stressful situation for them.
i think i've only ever bathed two of my snakes, and it was due to the situations i mentioned above.

Why would you?
There is no benefit to it, it only causes stress which combined to other things could lead to health issues.
If your BP is dirty just use a wash cloth.
If your BP does not shed properly provide proper husbandry.

Re: Bathing
Makes sense. That’s what I figured. I was just reading something that was saying they really enjoy a nice warm soak. And I was thinking it may be wrong.
