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
