I was bathing some of our other snakes and my boy had to get in on the action. Here is his ball python.

I agree, those patterns are beautiful! He looks like he's got some "busy" spots on him. Nice little guy! :thumb:

Some of ours hate it, but you just want to make sure the water is not too deep, and it should be tepid - not cold, but not hot.

They don't all like to swim, that's for sure. LOL

As you can see here though, Joel only has a little bit of water in the tub for the BP which is fantastic! BPs especially being thick bodied terrestrial snakes are not the best swimmers, he has demonstrated the perfect way in which if you are going to soak them for re-hydrating or whatever this is the way it should be done.
