Corn bath?

I dun know about the liquid hand wash. I wouldn't feel comfortable using any chemicals on them. Besides, they may not need it. Maybe just a swim around some, slightly warm water will clean them up?

Corns don't really need a "bath" in the sense that we use it, meaning washing the snake to get rid of dirt. They don't need to be cleaned, and "washing" a corn could be harmful. As Medusa said, if you want to give it a water soak thats fine but most people only do so before or after a shed. Giving your snake a soak every once in a while is fine but if you try to soak them every day to clean them then you aren't going to have a happy snake. You're not going to have a clean snake so you should just get used to washing your hands after holding your corn. Hope this helps.
 
I had to give Pink a bath today since she decided to slither on through her poo before I could clean it up. Just a quick run through a tub with a towel. Maybe 10 minutes total. Anyway, she HATED it. I didn't realize just how much she would hate it until I put her back in her viv and she rattled her tail at me! She's NEVER rattled at anyone, ever! In fact she's the one that we let children handle since she's so calm and easy going. She never struck at me or anything but it just suprised me. I won't be doing it again unless I REALLY need to.
 
I've never bathed my snakes in their lives and they've taken no harm from it. Some are OK with bathing but others find it very stressful, as MinLynn has found.

If they get poopy, just pick them up and let them slide through an old damp towel to get the worst off.

Under no circumstances should you use cleaning products on or near snakes, that are designed for humans.
