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

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.

Someone will have to invent 'Head and ... where's the shoulders?'.

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.
