It's really weird to see all the stuff you're saying about how soaking a ball python is pointless. I soak both my girls very often and not only do they seem to enjoy it, but it helps their shed a ton. it also helps hydration, I've heard. I think that any ball python owner that actually takes the time to personally soak their snake (wether the snake likes it or not) is a fantastic, responsible and caring owner. if what she's doing is working for her, let her be.
