    When I read this I said "Lol wut?" But I guess you could. Ive taken baths with my ball but he didnt like it much.. Dont know if it was the hot water or just the water in general.

    Generally they dont really care or the water... I would think you would be causing stress to the snake

    NO.

    Because what feels warm to you, is scorching hot to your snake. Just, don't do it.

    My brother-in-law showers with his Bp sometimes after a bad shed. He uses lukewarm to cool water and no soap. He says she just hangs out and enjoys the "rain".

    Well, let's take a hard look at your question.

    "Can I take shower with my BP?"

    Short answer is "yes".

    Long answer is that there are many things you CAN do with your ball python. You can put him in fancy clothes, you can take him to a hockey game, you can try to get him interested in modern art, you can take him on a balloon ride, you can take him on a boat ride, you can take him cow tipping, you can try to play poker with him and you can play Twister with him.

    You can do ALL these things with him (including taking a shower).

    However, just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.

    So if you change your question to "Should I take a shower with my BP?".

    Well, then Tessi, the answer is:

    No. It's a pretty dumb idea.

    If you have any other pressing questions about snakes, or how to cook perfect braised short ribs, or general questions about love, art, music or theology, I am always here to help. I live to give.

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    A thousand times this.

    Unless you like 86f showers then I really wouldn't recommend it.

    And also like cleaning snake pee and poop off both you and a shower. :P
