Hi could I please ask anyone how important it is that I bathe our baby corn snake? From what I am reading it is good for the shedding process, but is it something that Frank, our baby, would enjoy at any time anyway? I guess the water needs to be warm similar to the heat pad, but wanted to know if it is something he should have. thanks |

Hi thanks for your response, he has not shed yet since we have owned him, just three weeks, but i just wanted to know if they enjoy it so as to do it got him, the bath!
Is it a general thing people do for their snakes or just for the shedding if there is a probolem, sorry!

Its pretty unnecessary unless the snake has mites or has a serious shedding problem.. Like scaly said, if you are worried about shedding put a damp hide in.
I think it just causes stress for the snake |
