Little Freyja needs help again!

Not FULL.... just like 2" in the bottom. It's no different than seeing one of my snakes sit in the water bowl for a day before a shed....

Sometimes babies are kinda stupid. You gotta help them out a little.

Eit for temp- my ambient house temp is 82F, so I don't think the temp was an issue either.

I imagine not full. But water shouldn't go more than half way up their sides. 2 inches sounds a lot for babies. As you mentioned, some babies aren't the brightest and can't keep their heads up. Either way, its unnecessary stress. And I don't agree with the method. Snakes don't need baths ever. There are better ways to deal with shedding issues.

Shed or not, its not normal behavior for a ball python to soak. I'd check for mites or other issues. Bathing before a shed will strip the essential oils needed to shed. The oils act like a lubricant for the skin to slide off in one or mostly one piece. No oils, the shed won't go well and come off in pieces.

Just my $.02.
