    Bathing the bp?
    I changed the liner in my larger bp's tub 3 times yesterday. That's right, 3 times. I was dealing with computer issues and all 3 kids all day, so that's why it took me that long to figure out to put his water dish inside one he can't tip.

    So, what do I wake up to this morning? Yup, tub full of every type of waste he could possibly evacuate from himself :rolleye2: I think he did it to spite me.

    Anyway, after cleaning out his tub, something still stinks, and I realize it's the snake. I wiped him off quickly with a wet wash cloth, but our 3 month old is waking up, so I'm pretty much done with the snake for now.

    In a few hours, the baby will take a nap, so what should I do at that time to clean the snake further?

    Ivory brand soap is fine. Many keepers use it to wash the scent of eggs off their "moms" after they lay. Just be sure to rinse well in water that is roughly the same temp as the snake.
