Hi! Now, before you call me crazy or irresponsible, remember - I am asking first before doing anything! My 6 yr. old daughter is begging me to take a bath with Lila, our 2 foot ball python that we got this March. She is very responsible when holding her so it's not my daughter's age that concerns me, it's whether being in the water with a person will freak the snake out. Lila is naturally cautious (and curious!) but not overly so and we try to hold her for a bit each night. My daughter loves to have her crawl on her legs and tummy - she just loves that snake! I've put the snake in the tub alone before for a swim and she seems ok with it - and I'm very vigilant about watching the whole time in case she seems distressed at all. I know I could call our vet and ask but I'd rather hear from people who are around snakes 24/7 and are better judges of their temperament. Thanks!
