Bath time

Dear friends, how do you bath your BP ? do you use some kind of soap or just plain water ? do you rub the BP or just let it bath for some time ?

Just make sure the bathtub is clean of shampoo and soap and all of that, run a little bit of shallow water, and then put your bp in there, make sure you monitor very close. I would put maybe a half inch-inch of water depending on the size of your bp.

They don't really need baths unless they've slithered through some poo, or maybe got some pee on themselves. Or, if you have a bad shed you can let them soak. But for the most part, they don't need baths

I believe he just wants to give his a bath. It wouldn't hurt anything. It's not necessary no, but it's harmless as long as it's plain water, and not deep and it's monitored.

Right. This person was asking how other people bathed their animals, you had already answered that. I was just simply giving reasons why the animal should be bathed.

I would recommend to bath your bp in a tub like a 32 qt should do fine they're like under $5 at target...this way you don't have to be cleaning the bathtub everytime its "bathtime"...by the way some people think it stresses ball pythons to get baths...but on the contrary they enjoy it & get exercise since they can't get much on their enclosure...I read it in an article...it does stresses them if you do it often so try to do it every now & then...
