That's me "overly cautious". I just would not want it to ingest any of it. I guess you could put the snake in the water first. So if it does drink any it will be just water. Then add the beta-dine. I have never had to soak a snake but I did have to soak a few of my Bearded Dragons when I had them.

I never said anything about forcing the snake down into it. I was just thinking about another way.
