Question
does it matter how many times a week you give your snake a bath. i dont think it should matter.????

Answer
Hi Amanda,

it doesnt really matter how often you bathe a snake, but bathing is not necessary with most species but can be done during the shedding process to help your snake shed its skin properly.

i dont generally bath my snakes at all except occaisionally when shedding. so long as the humidity in your tank is correct your snake wont ever need a bath.

i hope this helps,

Andy
