lol i was watching some videos on youtube from "muffdaddy2" and he said that Ball Pythons like baths... and it helps moisten their skin so I tried it... i would have felt really bad with cold water so i used warm water and got sorta the same reaction but my snake is about 19 inches long so he didn't cause any problems... as soon as i cooled down the water he was fine and "swam" around my sink!
