    Mine get swim time once a week in the tub. Tepid water 2-3 inches deep, always supervised. Young ones will freak a little at first so limit their swim time.

    how do you give BP's baths? I personally don't.
    Do you make it deep? Don't as there is a chance of accidental drowning.
    Do they swim? I think so but not for extended periods of time.
    shallow? Yup about 2/3 of their body width
    Do you rub them? To dry them yes aside that no.
    Soap? I wouldn't due to irritation of eyes, mouth, scales, etc...

    Hope this helps and only a unasked question is ignorant :)

    The only time I bathe my snakes is when they smell bad from slithering in their waste. I just fill a tupperware container with 2 inches of water and put them in. I leave it uncovered. I don't use soap.

    My girls just chill there and will sometimes start drinking the water. :giggle: I usually leave them in for about 10 minutes or until they get restless.

    You don't really need to bathe snakes. I just do it to get the crap off them.
