How do you wash your dirty ball python?

So unless they have a bad shed, I've been seeing that bathing your ball python can be very stressful for them. How does one approach cleaning their ball python if they've decided to play dress up with their poop or urinate? How do you make sure you don't stress them out?

A damp paper towel will do the trick most of the time.

I use a warm wet wash cloth with J&J Baby Wash on it. I let them go through it a few times until I think I got all of their body, rinse the cloth and do it again with just warm water.

mostly a damp paper towel

Damp wash cloth & chlorehexedine solution (I rarely do this unless it's a female that just laid eggs)

ill mist their enclosure to help get anything off their scales, wipe with a cloth if it really bad. By next shed everything is gone.

I only "wash" mine when they are covered in poop or fresh off the eggs. As to the how, it depends on the animal. If it is one of my bomb proof ones they get a quick run under the faucet then wiped with a towel. My more sensitive ones I just use a damp towel.
