They will dunk themselves and sit underwater for about a minute then surface and relax their head on their body and lounge around. they actually don't even try to get out lol. But all of my snakes get LOTS of out of cage time so they are all very comfortable sitting on the couch, bed, me or just about anywhere in the house. I would imagine if your snake didn't get much outdoor time and wasn't used to being handled, a soak in a tote could be very stressful.
Great post .

There is a time for a soak though imho and it's AFTER a poor shed of course .. a short 30 minute soak and then let the snake slide through a damp , textured hand towel will easily remove any excess skin ..
