    Pedialyte baths should only be given to animals who are SEVERLY dehydrated. This ball python is eating. It is not dehydrated, it is having a bad shed.

    New owners often exaggerate the condition of their animal and look for things to be wrong with it. It will probably do more harm then good to give a perfectly healthy snake (other then a bad shed) a bath in pedialyte once a week..
