Cleaning a snake.

OK, I've had my corn for 3 months now, and have no health issues or eating issues at all, he's great. When I decided to get a corn, I did alot of research in order to learn as much as possible. I never saw anything about cleaning or bathing a snake, and yet today as i was reading a bunch of threads, twice I saw a mention of people bathing their snake and it had nothing to do with a shed problem. Anyway...should I be bathing my corn for any reason besides a shed problem?
 
some put the corn in a warm bath to loosen their stool, some to prepare for a shed or the remove stuck shed skin

The only reason I put my big guy in a tub was because he went through a stage where he was pooping within minutes of taking him out of his cage. He seemed to hold it just for me :awcrap: A bit of a warm bath and he was shedding it in there instead of on me or my bed or my carpet. It was a heck of a lot easier to clean the tub. He quit doing it after a couple of months and I stopped putting him in the tub. He never liked swimming and has never even as a hatchling laid in his water bowl.

No reason to bath your snake unless the shed is bad, although a few members have used it as exercise when they had females that had gotten too heavy.
 
i "bath" them by putting them in a tub with some warm water. One it does help them poop apparently lol. But mostly because mine seem to enjoy it, especially Oasis.

Though you dont have to. Its just something i do cause they enjoy it from what i can tell.
