That's a great video :)

Looks like everyone was correct after all Royals - clearly get so very distressed when they're in water ..... NOT .

My Ball Python, s do not like getting in the water how ever my Blood and Borneo Short tail live in the water, my conclusion is it seams not the Breed but what each snake decided what it wanted.

There's a difference between a snake choosing to go into the water of his own free will and being stuck in something to soak that he has no control over or ability to escape from. We never said 'Ball Pythons can't swim or go in the water', just that forcing them to soak/bath/whatever wasn't in their best interest and stresses them out. Just because you can take a bath or go into a swimming pool doesn't mean you enjoy it when someone else makes you and you have no control over the situation.

Ok. It was a simple throwaway comment to kinda highlight how uptight some people get about bathing / soaking snakes but I seem
to have stressed you out instead . Apologies .
Just a different take on things I guess . Things that many people over this side of the pond think stress snakes out are seen as acceptable even commonplace here.
