| They can swim, I just don't think they would purposely go for a swim, when I put mine in the bath for some swimming, they son't seem to like it much anyway although some might. |
   
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

| I've not tried it with any of my four yet, but my parents' corn, Conan, sheds badly, so I had him in a bowl of warm water for a while. At first he didn't like it, but then he calmed, sat in it for a moment, then did a poo >.o'' Seems that letting reptiles of any type go for a swim means you get a nice collection ofpoopat the end x.x |

| Unless they need to, its not a good idea. It might stress them out. Its worth it if they have a bad shed or have mites but unless there is a genuine reason to chuck them in the bath I wouldn't. |

| Swimming is actually a really good exercise if, like me, you live in a tiny flat that has no stairs! Also, having to swim to stay afloat means the snakes are more likely to move - mine, if I put them on the sofa for a 'run around' tend to just sit and look at me like 'what?' XDD I don't think it would cause too much stress if you do it on an intermittent basis. |

Lacey goes for a swim at shed time but he hates it soooo much so I have to let her rest on my hands in the water or she just flips bless her. But she can swim and I can see some snakes enjoying it. :)
