    That just confirms id never go back to that vet. Bathing them isn't relaxing like it is for a day at the spa for us and only does the opposite of stressing them and leading to a longer hunger strike. A few loose scales are nothing to worry about and will come off with the next shed or while moving around. I dont know what the obsession with people thinking their snakes need baths is all about (not meaning you, just in general). If temps and humidity are correct there shouldnt be any need to besides an occassional wipe down if they have poop or something you want off of them.
