I gave Frank, my snake, a bath today. The water in the bathtub was lukewarm, deep enough for him to swim around in it (he's 4' long). He was coiled on my hands and I put him in gradually. He started drinking when he was just barely touching the water, and then sneezed. He kept sneezing a bunch of times while he was in the water, swimming around and drinking.
After a few minutes he pooed, so I took him out and drained the water. He wanted to go back in, so I filled it back up and let him swim some more. He didn't sneeze much at all this time, and crawled up onto my lap when he was done swimming.
Well, anyway, I've never heard him sneeze before, and he was sneezing a lot. Should I be worried about him? Can snakes catch colds like people do? Oh, and I don't think he's sneezed since I took him out of the water.
