Hi
Anybody knownif there is a safe soap type solution that could be used to "wash" a snake ? I'm not talking about a bath foam Haha. Just I'm getting a new female on friday and her current home is a wee bit grimy. Would a very dilute viv disinfectant do it ?
Thanks

Substrate, snake likes to dig in substrate which is Megazorb there and got a very dusty head because of it.

Indeed :p



Corns don't smell, if my guys slither though poo I just get a normal kitchen roll and wipe them and tell them off.

If the snake smells (which is unusual unless they musk then they hum) just allow it to run through a damp piece of kitchen roll a few times and then a dry piece but really they aren't a mucky animal unless the mouse they are constricting bursts so I'd just give it a week to settle in and go from there.

Thanks both, I know it seemed a bit of a silly question just wondered if anyone had brought out a product.
Thanks for answering.

You shouldnt need to wash it i dont think! Even just use warm water. The waterline should be give or take just half way up the snakes body if you plan on bathing.

wouldn't risk it personally, i'd use well-diluted washing up liquid if it was really neccessary but tbh it prolly won't be
