Petal had a bath in the sink today as she had another 'not quite all in one piece' shed.
I bath mine for health reasons such as above, it also helped my egg-bound adult female pop her last egg out, and I'm swimming Beech the fatty amel to try and get his weight down.
It can add some variety for the snake as they're pretty good swimmers, just make sure you block off the over-flow! |

| Yes, I wasn't saying 'don't bath them', it does have health benefits if needed. |

| After reading a similar thread on here, I've taken to giving my corn a dip in the bath a couple of days after a feed. It seems to encourage her to poop, this way she poops in the bath rather than in her tank. I use a couple of inches of lukewarm water, and change the water as soon as she has pooped. She seems to like swimming, and powers up and down the bath pretty fast. |
