    BP Swimming?
    Do BPs enjoy swimming in bathtubs every once in a while?

    I know my corn snake loves it, but with the BPs different body style will it be able to swim too? :)

    I think it's advised against bathing BPs because it generally just stresses them out and it removes the natural oils from their skin that helps them shed. :)

    How can you tell your corn loves it?

    lol, I've been told by people that it is good for them once a month, but maybe I'm trusting the wrong people. :)

    The only time i would bath a bp is if it decided to make a mess and got covered in crap.

    I do think that some corn snakes like swimming- A freind's corn snake cage had a corner sealed off used as a water bowl and sometimes it would swim.... I hink that BP are specifically land snakes though.

    I don't know if the snake really likes "like" the swim for say, but I dont see the harm in doing it once monthly.

    Theres a difference between offering it and forcing it. Once again, im curious as to how you can tell that the snake enjoyed it...?

    Also, i wouldnt consider bps anymore terrestrial than corns.

    Yeah one time my BP crawled through her poo, so I had to give her a bath. Boy she did NOT like that. She was constantly trying to get out of the tub. My beardie though, loves his bath time :P
