    You're lucky they're not dead. Well, the damage is done now, either he'll recover or he won't. Don't do that again, snakes do not need a bath.

    I'm still thinking about this... It just really bothers me. I'm still very new to BP's and snakes in general, but this is just so hard for me to grasp. I have so many "why"'s running through my head. I am so careful with my snake, and all my pets for that matter... I just don't see how this could happen.

    Maybe it's the parent in me, but I just don't think you're ready to care for a pet like this.

    Take him to a vet instead of posting on the internet. At best he's got bad burns and neurological damage. At worst he'll be dead soon if he isn't already.
