Assuming you would like tips on how to bathe a snake:
It is important to note that you should only bathe your snake if it is absolutely necessary. If your snake is not shedding its skin correctly then you may need to give it a bath to help it shed. If your snake is going to be shown in a competition then you will need to give it a bath to make sure it is clean. Lastly if your snake smells bad then a bath may be in order.
If you do need to give your snake a bath the first thing you will need to do is gather your supplies. You will need a tub that is big enough for your snake to move around in but not so big that your snake will feel lost or scared. You will also need a snake hook which is a long thin piece of metal with a small hook on the end. This will be used to help you move your snake around in the tub.
Fill the tub with lukewarm water. The water should be deep enough that your snake can fully submerge itself but not so deep that the snake will feel like it is drowning.
Place your snake in the tub using the snake hook. Allow the snake to soak in the water for 20-30 minutes. This will help loosen any dirt or debris that may be on the snake’s skin.
After the snake has soaked you can begin to gently rub its skin with your hands. It is important to be gentle so you do not hurt the snake. If the snake has trouble shedding its skin you can use a soft brush to help loosen the skin.
Once you have finished bathing the snake you can allow it to soak in clean lukewarm water for 10-15 minutes. This will help remove any soap residue from the snake’s skin.
After the snake has soaked you can remove it from the water and place it on a towel. Gently pat the snake dry being careful not to hurt it.
Once the snake is dry you can put it back in its home.
