Bathing your BP

[anatess]

Yeah, we tried that with our first bp. Fail. And we almost got bit. Snake got on the water hated it and tried to escape, fall, escape, fall... stressed the poor gal out before we finally managed to grab the snake and put her back in her enclosure.

If the bp needs a bath (stuck shed, poop all over, mites, etc.) it's better to put him in a tupperware filled with water so that the snake can ball up in there with its head above the water with the lid on. Water temp around 90. Remember, when you put your hand in your armpits, that's around 98 degrees.
