While ball pythons can swim Christina they aren't a snake that seems to like or want to be in water. Anytime I've had to put one in water to soak (most of the rescues came in with badly retained sheds), they act very stressed so we never swim them like this. Even with Sev this is a rare occasion.

Thanks everyone for the comments! Sev's coming along nicely we think. He's the first BCI we've raised up so we are learning as we go with him and really enjoying watching him grow up. His personality is pure boa though. You just couldn't ask for a more calm and pleasant snake than this little guy.
