Why would you expect a bad rep point?

:confused:

I agree that advice should be sound and carefully worded. But I wasn't giving advice; I was asking a question.

BTW, I think I actually get your humor and find you funny, etc. I never felt defensive around you... until now... kidding, I'm kidding!

Why would I expect a bad rep point? Um... let's see, you want my version or the psychiatric evaluation...? ;) Seriously though, I worry that people think I mislead people (when I am just kidding) and will throw me outta here. 1/4 of the people seem to get me; 1/2 of the people are neutral; and the other 1/4 think I'm an airhead. At least, that's what those voices keep telling me. :D I know, I know, I just can't STAY serious; that's all.

Now we know your type :8:

I've heard of people taking baths with their snakes. Especially aquatic types (Anacondas) but not shower.

I've thought about it though, especially one time when I went to clean his cage and PPHHHHEEEWWWWWW. . .man what a stink. I thought I would choke! The largest turd I had ever seen from a snake and he decided he'd smear it against himself.

On a different note, I have taken showers with my dogs. Yorkies, they may seem small and weak but once you try to get them wet all hell breaks loose and they gain the strength of 10 men! So I grab our yorkie and slam the door shut (it kills her will to fight!) and proceed with the cleaning avoiding her claws/nails.

So, I guess you didn't want to do the kissing that the youtube guy did, huh?

That's retarded, why would you even want to take a shower with your snake.

Haha, Good one made me laugh! :gj:

This guy has no problem bathing with his snake...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JkLUU15o2k

That snake was totally not into it. And what the heck was up with his hair? tsk. Product can be a dangerous thing in the wrong hands.

Venom, that is plain weird. The music adds a bizarre touch, too.

That doesn't look like any Boa constrictor I've ever seen.
I better check to make sure. Nope.

I mean who doesn't love a french kiss from something with a split tongue. No breathmint can compare to the lingering flavor of fresh rodent.

No seriously. I don't kiss my snakes. Not after the poop smearing incident of '07. Lest we Forget.

Maybe this is a question for Ben Rennick and his anacondas....

Any other thoughts?

Snakes are like mogui (spelling?) right? So if you get them wet they will multiple, and if you feed them after midnight they turn into killer beasts. Right?

We accept this fact, though, and keep them anyway, and don't begrudge each other for it.

Since we're keeping them for our own personal amusement anyway, why not enjoy them in which ever way doesn't cause them any harm or risk their health? If she wants to shower with her snake, go for it. Obviously it's up to her to pay attention to proper temperatures and the snakes' over all comfort level, but that's true day in and day out. Nothing's actually changing here - it's just... a different way of doing the same thing. ...very... very different. :D

I think this is a great post and a good job at looking at the situation from more than one angle. How do we judge if a snake is stressed anyway? IMO, if the snake is feeding, breeding, and in otherwise good physical health, it would seem to me like it is thriving. Some snakes take better to handling than others. Some may take to showering better than others as well?

As far as the video of the guy and his big Burm, yes the Burm wanted out of the water, but what if the water wasn't there? Do you think the snake still would have tried to get away from its owner? I've seen snakes do that many times with no water present.

You never know, showering with a reluctant breeder might make it breed? I've heard of some strange things... you'd think that taking a reluctant feeder out of its enclosure, putting it in your car, and driving around with it would be stressful, but apparently it makes the snake want to eat?

All I'm saying is we don't have to be so quick to give strictly YES or NO answers based on assumptions.

And yes, I also understand the reasoning behind those who think the whole shower thing would be a horrible, pointless idea.

no way would i ever let my snake be that close to MY SNAKE

one juicy turd for the snake... one huge salmonella problem for man kind

LOL great post man, that guy seems to love his snake a little bit TOO much (I didn't think it was possible til I saw that vid :)) Was he making out with it in the middle there? And BTW someone else probably already said this (I haven't read the whole thread yet just had to reply to this one :D) but is that whole room the snakes enclosure? Did he convert his freakin BATHROOM to a snake room? And if so isn't he just floating around in a big pool of snake doo-doo and germs and stuff. Seems a little bit strange to me. Just my .02 :banana:

No I don't think I would get in the shower with my BP. I would be afraid of dropping him... :rolleyes:

So many nay-sayers, but this thread is still kickin'! :banana:

i cant believe this thread is still going. it makes me laugh everytime i see it, picturing a grown man taking a bubble bath with a snake..... bwahahahaha:stupidme:

N-e-v-e-r!!!!!

My animals as much as I love them are still animals, we don't bath together, don't sleep together and don't eat together well except for my husband :8:

---

To be honest, I have showerd with my dog-my husky pup likes water and the bathroom door was open and she jumped in. But not for long before I shoved her out. lol. Also some people (not me, I dont even have one-) shower with their cats if someone in the family is allergic. But no, never with my snakes.

LOL. I just saw this one. I love it!

If they multiplied, EVERYONE would be showering with morphs.

I took a shower with my dog once. But, he kept looking up and it kinda freaked me out so I booted him out the door haha.

Never again.

As for a snake.
Probably not.

-Chris-:)

We're getting a Senegal parrot, and, in the process, I have learned that people take showers with their exotic birds all the time! :D

I have showered with my bird and bearded dragons but not my snake

I used to have an amazon parrot, he loved to shower with us. You could buy special shower perches for them too! :]

Uh.. well.. probably not.. it seems kinda stressful for them.

Never, never, never, ever would I shower with the snake.... :O:weirdface:O

I shower with my bp all the time...I put a rag over the the soap holder and its like a little canopy. I pre heat it though first. Then I just deal wit the luke warm water then she swims around and perches on me. I love Poopsie!!!

I find it rather difficult to take a shower without 'Mr. snake'

I don't have a BP yet but I probably wouldn't shower with him/her. I do, however, shower with my parrots all the time. :)

except when the males mature....get outta the way and keep ur :snake: away from the lizard. :rolleye2:

that snake would've owned his life....i mean absolutely dry humped him across the floor...forget "when good bets go bad" ! i want that snake to bite him...thats just dumb on his part. i hope his clothes are completely sterile, so he didnt track anything friends into the water.

Hmmm curious to ask how do you guys not shower with your snake? I mean mine is fairly attached to me :weirdface

What in the world are you talking about?

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I thought of this after watching last week's Snake Bytes!

Chewy? How could you???
