Just wanted to share the the girls had their first bath today. Mo was a bit skittish then calmed and had a wee swim, she loved it so much...she peed :L
Abbey just plonked down, sat still but was sniffing the air, she swam underwater a few times then glided over the top after ten minutes of just stillness aha.
Such cuties. Loved watching them swim, they look so much more graceful in water ^^ |

All i overly knew was bathing could help with retained shed. But as i said, i know some like to sit in their water bowl if they are too hot. Even though my two never have done that, i thought, as i said above, a wee swim would be a nice treat :) |

I gave Lovecraft a bath once on the advice of his former keeper but he was not at all impressed; just wriggled and tried to crawl up the sides of the tub so I took him out fairly quickly :P I've had a few people tell me it's beneficial, if not exactly essential, as it helps to remove any dust/dirt/whatever that's too small to see from their skin :) |

How old would you say your snake should be and how deep of water? |

Just make sure the water is not too warm, 28c max which will feel cool to us. Some enjoy it some don't. |

There is nothing wrong with bathing them as long as it's done right, so sorry if my post came over like I was saying it was wrong. What I perhaps should have also said was that it is not a necessity but can be done if the keeper wants to.

Is bathing something that I should be doing?
I have never bathed any of mine, if one of them had been sliding through their own feces and was filthy then they would get a bath. |
