Re: Is it good to give my ball a bath?
Once in a while (no schedule here), I do give mine a quick bath. Generally only when it seems like she's a bit dirty or has something on her. As a baby, she hated it and would panic. As an adult, she doesn't seem to mind, and even seems to want to get into the water once she realizes I'm running it. I don't really have a very good reason for doing it.
Just use common sense, don't do it too long, and watch them 100% of the time. If it's a bath tub or sink, make sure they can't get into the drain or any overflows.

Re: Is it good to give my ball a bath?
I voted bad because I believe only when needed! You don't need to bath on a regular schedule like us, just when needed!

Re: Is it good to give my ball a bath?
I dont bathe for any reason other than poo on them and after egg laying. My Leucistic looked awful the day he cuddled with his poo. I think its necessary to bathe a pure white snake covered in dark brown streaks lol!
Other than that. No.

I would recommend post egg lay, or if stuck shed, not sure that would be a bath, I usually just put in smaller sterilite tub with lid and soak for 15-20 minutes with supervision.
