    Off topic but I totally support this. People tend not to give much thought to this fact and they bathe their snake in 80'F - 90'F water then don't understand why their snake is flipping out all of a sudden. Fact: Snakes like to chill in chill water. (Room temp. ~75'F)

    Also, soaking snakes when in blue is a bad idea- they do have oils that they secrete in this time especially that help with removing shed and soaking during this time may lead to skin sticking like glue. (or other adhesive substances) And to whoever might have missed this fact, snakes turn dark/normal color after going blue but before the actual shedding process begins. Any shedding occurring while they are in blue phase may lead to skin injury, raw flesh, and entirely missing scales as I have witnessed myself.
