2 Part Question: BP Shed and Poop

[Reinz]

In my opinion, the washing away oils thing is total BS, a complete wive's tale.

One person said this in post 1-2 yrs ago and others picked up that football and started running with it and have repeated the statement in their own posts.

All of my snakes, BP, Boa's, and Carpet Pythons have soaked on their own right up to shed before. No mites present, temps and humidity on point.

Most people here think that BP's don't like to soak probably because their water bowls aren't big enough for them to even have the opportunity to soak.

Besides, Seven-Thirty just stated a physiological fact: the oils are UNDERNEATH the skin so the skin can slide off. Soaking can't affect that.

Sorry folks, I have first hand EXPERIENCE on my side, NOT second hand statements that I have read on the Internet.


Elvira, Ball Python



Esmarelda, Jungle Carpet



Punch, Boa

I'll stop here, I have photos of my other four snakes doing the same.
