I know that if your snake is constipated putting them in the tub will make them go to the bathroom a hell of a lot easier. but my BP gets at least 2 hours of water time a week. ANd she has never seemed happier.
Part water snake? Where exactly did you read that? Nothing could be farther from the truth.

How exactly do you know that she "likes" it?

If cared for properly, ball pythons should never get "constipated".

I'm certainly not against the occasional soak for a stuck shed, but "swimming" is totally out of character for ball pythons and likely stressful.
