Swimming?

cute. :lol:

So Rusty, is it your opinion that filling a bathtub and letting a ball python "swim" around in it is a recommended part of p. regius husbandry?

I believe if you have a large enough water container system in their enclosure. Large enough refers to them being able to totally submerge their bodies easily into it. Then they shouldn't need to swim in your bathtub. I feel if they have their own, what's the point of sharing yours. But then again I may feel different if all I had were bp's. To his his own I say.

I never put my Bps in the water. When I got one of them, he had a bad case of mites, and I had to soak him for short periods as part of the treatment. I also soaked my other (at the timme) 2 snakes and all of them hated it. It especially stressed out this really nippy WC male I had (but have since given to a friend.) I hated doing it, and felt so awful, that I will not do it again unless a case of mites crops up (which will never happen, in a perfect world.)
