i have a ball python whos about 2 years old.
He spends most of his time in his warm hide, even when hes just pooped and hes sitting right next to it (I always clean out the poop as soon as i can, but of course he still cuddles with it for a period of time). whichever part of him touched it smells afterward. Ive read you shouldn't bathe them a lot so you don't stress them out, but im not sure how often i should bathe him, or if it's enough reason to bathe him at all, since he sits in those germs everytime he poops. can anyone help?
