Is it good to give my ball a bath?

Once in a while (no schedule here), I do give mine a quick bath. Generally only when it seems like she's a bit dirty or has something on her. As a baby, she hated it and would panic. As an adult, she doesn't seem to mind, and even seems to want to get into the water once she realizes I'm running it. I don't really have a very good reason for doing it.

Just use common sense, don't do it too long, and watch them 100% of the time. If it's a bath tub or sink, make sure they can't get into the drain or any overflows.

Roddy loves taking a bath. I usually only bathe her when she has yuck on her, but in general, she really loves the water. In the summer she soaks in her bowl to cool off and I will let her swim around in the tub when she gets too hot. She loves the water...can hardly get her out of it.

She has perfect temps, and no feeding, shedding or defecation issues. She just loves water...strange, I know:rolleyes:


HHH

I voted bad because I believe only when needed! You don't need to bath on a regular schedule like us, just when needed!

I dont bathe for any reason other than poo on them and after egg laying. My Leucistic looked awful the day he cuddled with his poo. I think its necessary to bathe a pure white snake covered in dark brown streaks lol!

Other than that. No.

I would recommend post egg lay, or if stuck shed, not sure that would be a bath, I usually just put in smaller sterilite tub with lid and soak for 15-20 minutes with supervision.

i only put them in a tub with a little water with no soap when they poop and smell, other than that no.
