How often do you take your snake a bath??

[psycho]

I'm confused, people talk about bathing their snakes often and some say that they really dont like it so you have to do it every once in a while...I had my snakes over 5 months or so and so far they've had 2 baths....is this ok?

Only time I'd ever bath a snake is if it was covered in doo doo, stuck shed or for medical reasons.


LOL, otherwise, they don't need them.

Very rarely but here are some of the occasion.

Covered in poo

Stuck Shed

After laying

All of which do not happen often.

But some other people say its good because they dont get much exercise in their enclosure...

Giving a snake a bath is not a comforting experience for them, from my own experiences with them and baths. I wouldn't give a bath just to make them move. What a way to stress them out!

If you are worried about giving your snake exercise, handle him once a day. Otherwise, BP's are largley sedentary being an ambush predator.

That's really good to know that they can get stressed if they bath too much...Well i handle them like for an hour or so do you think this is plenty of exercise...even though sometimes they are some lazyheads that stay in one place the whole hour...

I have been a slacker as of late, but I usually let mine swim in the tub once a week.

Never. I haven't had a reason to.
