Well that's a stellar endorsement. I'll do that then.

Other ball pythons may appreciate it though, as long as it's shallow and the snake doesn't have a wobble. I also make sure the snake doesn't get into the water when they are feeding, if they get their head and rodent in the water I immediately pull them out. They never let go of the rodent, it's really safe for both the snake and keeper.

I actually spray my snakes down when I spray the substrate a couple times a week. I don't even soak them if they have a stuck shed, I just spray them with water, let them sit for about 5-10 minutes and then take them out and play with them rubbing my hands across their body. That usually takes the shed right off, but it has to be wetted first.
What do you mean by "wobble"? This is the first I've heard of such a thing.
I've heard about keeping snakes out of the water during feeding. Thanks for the reminder.
The spray thing for a stuck shed sounds like a good idea though. Thanks!
