I believe I have read somewhere that too much soaking/bathing can be bad for a BP and dehydrate them and remove the natural oils from their skin.
Why can't you just let them slither on the floor instead of be freaked out in a bathtub?

Not to get off topic but another person used pam for mites on his snake and put him directly into a tuperware container, poor snake/poor guy, it didn't make it. Just use common sense in whatever you do.

i have read that in a bunch of places. that people put duck tape on their snakes to help shed.... i have never and will never do that.... tape on a snake just doesnt sound like a good idea.
