Well she has some skin issues, missing scales, cloud part on the top of her head. I was told by one of my friends whos been breeding and keeping snakes for over 40 years and he said that this would get rid of any mites or anything that could be causing some of these skin problems. I soaked her in my bathtub, so those 3 gallons came up to half her body and she was in there for only 3 minutes.
