bath?????
HI, i was wondering y, all in all, u should bath ur python. I was planning on bathing my new one as needed but i was just wondering how often and for what reasons. And alsoo I heard u should soak them in water when their eyes turn blue, and get ready to shed.
I Got a Ball Python named NATHAIR!!!!!
(Nathair is irish Gaelic for snake)
NATHAIR is the coolest snake i could ever hope to own!
  This is my friends and I, on a Saturday night. Might give u a little idea about me, lol.
P.S. I m the one on the far left. Kenny is next to me. And Jimmy is doing his thing on the right.

Re: bath?????
If they have a stuck shed, you should soak your Ball python. What is the humidity in your tank?
My brother has a ball named Cartman too. LOL. Mostly because he is fat and lazy. Lol.

Re: bath?????
Bathing your snake is not necessary. Soaking is done occassionally, but only if you are trying to remove a stuck shed. I know a few people around here do soak while in blue, but I do not. I figure if it's not needed then why do it. It will only stress them out.
I hope you have your setup ready for your new snake. Here's a link to our caresheet and our FAQ.

Re: Bath???
Only needs to be done if it has shedding issues. Or if it has mites..... if it sheds perfectly, then your humidity levels are fine!
Not something that needs to be done otherwise.

Re: Bath???
To add to what Spaniard said you should actually wash BEFORE and AFTER you handle your Ball Python or any reptile for that matter. The reason is that you can give them diseases/germs and likewise they could give you diseases/germs. One of my friends who keeps forty or so herps caught salmonella. LOL  I am sorry to laugh but he was in the hospital for a couple days, it was his own fault he did not wash his hands during cleaning day and went Burger King for lunch. I think you could figure out the rest. He learned his lesson. Eeeww man.
WASH BEFORE AND AFTER HANDLING YOUR HERPS, FOR YOUR SAFETY AS WELL AS THE REPTILES SAFETY. (this public broadcast announcement has been.....)
