washing/bathing our bps in cold water

[Egapal]

Ball Pythons don't enjoy baths and THEY ARE NOT swimming aroud having fun they are trying to get out of the water.

Agreed but when the family pet is covered with its own feces it gets a bath whether it likes it or not. The question is how to give that bath safely.

The question is how to give that bath safely.

By using a warm wash cloth and letting the snake slither through it.
Baths are not needed at all unless your soaking a snake to remove a bad shed, and that should be done in an enclosed tub not a bath tub.
