First Bath

Mine doesn't soak at all at any time for any reason. So, you can be sure each one is different.

I agree 100%. They know what they need - or don't.

Wow Im surprised a lot of people replied to this.

Yet I'm still unsure if I should maybe put a bowl of water in her tank for her to soak in or not.

For some reason my reticulated pythons are getting stuck sheds even though they are in tubs of Reptichip with pretty high humidity. I've been taking them out and soaking in a tote full of warm water. I usually do 95F but on the last tub I did 100F, boy they don't like it that hot! But at 95F they seem to like it just fine and it cools down really fast so it doesn't stay that temp very long. In fact it gets pretty cool after just five minutes or so.

I've seen snakes that just love to soak, so I personally don't see any issue with bathing a snake.

What temp should the water be at?

If you provide a bowl large enough they will soak when they want to.
Room temperature is warm enough.
