She freaked out.. :/
Tonight I put my 8 month old "Baby" ball in a PLENTY big tupperware container,
(one of the ones you store clothes in)-and i filled it with just enough water that it reached her back. I put her in to let her soak/bathe because her shed wasn't amazing a few days ago, and there were a few TINY pieces left.
i sat down and closed the top...for about 5 minutes everything was fine,
but then all of a sudden she literally starting freaking out jumping everywhere and hitting her head on the top as she made every effort to get out...
i quickly ran over and opened the container and took her out and peeled a few pieces off of her, and she just seemed a little hurt and scared :[
i thought snakes were okay bathing, but maybe not?
any help would be greatly appreciated,
thanks,
Andrew

Did you not read the thread just made about a girl who's ball python drowned in a similair situation? Next time, try some damp paper towels or a damp wash cloth.

No i didn't read that thread.
the water wasn't high enough for her to drown though...
that's why i was a bit confused.

Nevermind, I just read it.
that is way sad.
I won't be "soaking her" any time soon.
bad decision.

We all make mistakes and they help us learn. In the future if you notice a stuck shed, just try damp paper towels instead of water. Much safer!
Try boosting your humidity in your enclosure so you can avoid it all together!

She is my first, my first baby, and I get scared so easily.

Trust me, I know how it is. I check on my girls constantly and poke em to make sure they are still alive. XD I am so paranoid about my babies!
