Wish I could have gotten the start

It might have already been said but I'm just going to say it anyway appearantly it's bad to wash your snakes as it washes off oils and this is what I was recently told on here by a user when I said I did when my snake would be stuck in shed and he said I shouldn't bath at all and the only time I do a bath it's more of a soak for the reason of stuck shed but I'm trying different methods for that guy next time he gets like that

retro gaming pokemon for gbc/gba p.s. I've never played go nor shall i !!!!!

I don't think there's any proof that soaking washes away the oils in a snake skin . Many snakes choose to spend hours or even DAYS in water - that's in captivity and the wild . It's more a case of people wanting others to offer the opportunity to soak by providing a big water bowl rather than actively soaking them in a container of water .

That part about washing oils away may just be hogwash to scare people into not soaking their snakes .

Yea that's one thing I even thought of is the times I've caught mine soaking in their own dishes but it's been something that's always been brought up when I post about soaking mine to get the shed off

Soaking snakes to get a bad / stuck shed seems to be more prevalent over here in the U.K. A quick 20 minute soak helps greatly if the snake is dehydrated as well . That said LIVE feeding is massively frowned upon over here yet it's seemingly the norm over in the US.

Just two different cultures , I guess

I'm in canada and I don't hear much of an over feeding issue here but I have heard that in America aswell lol but again alot of breeders say they don't and their animals show they arnt over fed but I soak aswell because it's very dry at times where I live but the summers are usually very humid which is nice

My Burmese loves the Bath tub. I will run a bath, he will hang out, swim under the water, and then do his business... i then empty the water and refill where he likes to hang out for 20 min. One problem it causes for me is the amount of Urine... He drinks so much of it he ends up pissing like a water gun.. Will spray the whole tank with a blast hahhhaha
My Balls are a different snake, they are much more timid. Some day theirs are always stressed and because of that they tell everyone else not to stress snakes... You'll have to see how it works for you. Sometimes I think the world has turned into cookie cutters, everyone thinks the same rules apply to everything and it just isn't so. Try, learn and research to do things healthy and safe for the animals. 👍🏼

You do know a Burm's natural habitat is tropical right? Completely different from Ball Pythons.
