Mine get swim time once a week in the tub. Tepid water 2-3 inches deep, always supervised. Young ones will freak a little at first so limit their swim time.

how do you give BP's baths?
Do you make it deep?
Do they swim?
shallow?
Do you rub them?
Soap? sorry if this is a ignorant post
how do you give BP's baths? I personally don't.
Do you make it deep? Don't as there is a chance of accidental drowning.
Do they swim? I think so but not for extended periods of time.
shallow? Yup about 2/3 of their body width
Do you rub them? To dry them yes aside that no.
Soap? I wouldn't due to irritation of eyes, mouth, scales, etc...
Hope this helps and only a unasked question is ignorant
The only time I bathe my snakes is when they smell bad from slithering in their waste. I just fill a tupperware container with 2 inches of water and put them in. I leave it uncovered. I don't use soap.
My girls just chill there and will sometimes start drinking the water. I usually leave them in for about 10 minutes or until they get restless.
You don't really need to bathe snakes. I just do it to get the crap off them.
