Have you ever taken a shower/bath with a snake? Would you?

OK, just keeping it lively folks. I thought of this one b/c it's getting late and I know I need to go to bed. However, two things I would like to do before sleeping is shower and hold Mr. Snake. But that will put me to bed after 1 a.m., so the multi-tasker in me started thinking....

Needless to say, I will only end up showering b/c I'm still burning my time on this rockin' site!

okay... thought u were serious at first... and seriously wondering why you would want to! lol

Um... not a good idea. First off, your snake probably wouldn't appreciate the water hitting him/her and would most likely spend the entire time trying to get away. Also, the typical shower temperature for you is MUCH warmer than what your snake would feel comfortable in. The water temps should be around 90 which would seem lukewarm to you in the shower.

Also, many snakes defecate while soaking. Probably not something you would want to deal with while in the shower.

Um, after midnight, it is all theoretical. But in doing this mental exercise, the water temperature would be luke warm for sure and the snake would be held mostly out of the spray of the shower.

Maybe this is a question for Ben Rennick and his anacondas....

Any other thoughts?

I'd do it... just not naked. In cool water and in a bath, not shower...

This is just a messed up question any way you go about it. Sorry but no. No no and no again. ...Just no.

But you don't have an anaconda.

I agree with Entropy - NO, no, no. There is NO benefit for your ball python, at all for doing this.

Y'all are taking this thread WAY too seriously. I just like to stir it up.
