Bathing

[Kevinh583]

I like to let my snake swim in the tub now and then. I figure it is good exercise and a little feeling of being back in the wild. It also serves the purpose of a bath, no soap involved though. And in reality it probably just stresses her out and I'm the one getting the enjoyment out of it, but I don't think about that.

I think in the right setting would relieve some of the stress. If you used the same size container every time and scheduled the bath/cleaning time. I big bath tube may be a bit too big. With a small container you can hold the snake while it settles down.
If it's luke warm your snake should calm down after a few minutes. Then if you need to do any scrubbing you can get that done. Many of my big radixes relax right away and seem to tolerate/like the attention.
Giving them the attention is in my opinion therapeutic(to us)

Never with soap or anything else 'man-made'..... water's just fine.
