| Panic, fear, terror and so on. Why are you bathing it? |

| The best way to spoil a snake is to leave it alone in its viv. Handling for unnecessary reasons is purely for the benefit of the owner. Allowing her to bath on her own terms is a much better option, and you can do that by supplying a large water bowl in her viv that she can fit into. |

Lister likes having a bath, I can imagine he likes the warmth!
But then, he does like to cover himself in poop on occasion, so it's kind necessary in order to clean him off! |

i'm totally with matty on this, there's no need to bath and it's highly debatable whether it's an enjoyable or tolerable experience for thesnake
they would swim in the wild but that would be either to get from A to B, to ease irritation from external parasites or to aid shedding.........not for fun  |

| Oh, I dont wash him because he 'likes it', he doesn't seem fussed when he's in the tub, he only gets one when poopy. |

| in the wild a snake would poop and move on, not be confined to the same area and roll in the damn stuff lol can totally see where you're coming from Spree |
