water temp should be around 27c (same as viv) and it should cover between 1/3 and 1/2 of the snakes body

if you do decide to bath your snake, make sure you measure the water temp with a digital thermometer first, to be sure you wont burn or freeze your snake!

Good advise about the temperature guys

The correct temperature water will feel slightly cool to the touch, not warm. If it feels warm then the temp is higher than your body temp - about 37ºC, which is too high!!
