    Dawn Dish Soap and Snakes?

    My snake, Mango, was around my neck and she got herself stuck in one of my hoop earrings. I took out the earring and tried to take it off her, but it was stuck, so I used Dawn soap to make it slippery and it came right off. I would never bathe her in dish soap, so I'm not asking this because that's my intent, but I just wanted to make sure that she'll be okay? She didn't seem bothered by it, and I rinsed her off afterward.

    As KMG said, your snake will be fine.

    I do not make it a regular thing to wash my snakes but after I remove eggs from a female I always wash her with a little dish soap to clean the egg scent off her. Gets them to switch away from maternal behaviour and back to normal behaviour a bit faster
