Swimming python

I admit I'd be pretty nervous to even consider something like this.

BUT, I have a large female normal ball python who snorkels in her water dish every time I fill it. She submerges her entire head and neck, then blows bubble out of her nose. The first few times it happened, I thought she was going to drown! I was afraid she went to get a drink and fell in or something? I don't know but it freaked me out pretty badly. Then after a little while, I realized she was doing it on purpose. She zips right to her clean, full water bowl and spends the next 15 or 20 minutes snorkeling. She does it every single time I clean and fill her dish, so I know she enjoys it. I bet she'd swim if I had the nerve to let her try.

I'd pretty much call you pathetic too. Your first post attacking someone who is well respected and a dedicated member on this forum? That's pretty pathetic to me.

WOW that is awesome. This creature never ceases to amaze me. Excellend vid.

This week Bugo tried to go swimming in a koi pond display to the delight of many boy scouts visiting Congressional Aquarium in MD. I put him at the lip and he tried to go right in. If I thought I could get him back without getting in myself I would have let go of his tail and he would be off. He then proceeded to swim in a gold fish tank. He just loves water.

you have a very odd snake, Greengirl, I must admit. its definitely fun to hear what kind of trouble he gets into though! glad you didnt let him in the koi pond, what if one of them thought they'd hit the worm motherlode?! haha.
