Okay probably going to flame me for saying this but..
I've never bathed my snake before, although recently he's been in his waterbowl.
So how would I bath him? I know you don't use shower gel or anything but how warm is the water meant to be?
thanks. |

Never assume this, it will never happen on this forum.
You dont have to bath your snakes, I dont do it unless its needed. If you do choose to do it, have the water at about 27*C. It doesnt have to be exact but I like to measure it with a digital thermometer.
Also you want the water to be as deep and the snake is wide. |

Ok then :)
Do snakes sink if the bath is deep then? |

| No, they can swim quite well, but they can also feel quite nervous. If you bath them its quite likly they will poo in the bath too. As yours are small I would bath them (if you choose to in the first place) in a washing up bowl. |
