    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.

    My snakes are not freaked out in the tub as you can see from these photos, you will also note the amount of water in the tub (minimal). These were from their last exercise, Neemo decided to get alittle frisky if you know what I mean.
