Hiya
I like to let earl (royal python) loose in the bath tub every now and then which he seems to really enjoy and was wondering if the brb`s like it also ?

Got a lovely royal python called earl, 2 brazilian rainbow boas called zeus and hera, a red tail cross boa constrictor called dorris and an albino burmese python called angel as well :-)

| I let my Royal's in the bathtub as well, but I have never tried it with my rainbows. They are arboreal idk if they ever really swim that much. |

Rainbows are extreamly good with water and yes they do love the water , Well i can say my girl loves to try and kill her prey in her water bowl and also eats underwater too  , So the question to the answer is Yes they will be fine in the bath tub water just make sure you check temps of water before putting snakey in there. |

Ash is correct, water temps are the big one.
However, also make ABSOLUTELY sure the tub has been rinsed clean of all chemicals before trying this. Rainbows drink a *lot*, and anything that was in the tub (soap, shampoo, cleaners) can wind up in the water and therefore in their body.
As a final and minor point (mostly to set the record straight for future readers), Brazilians are really a terrestial snake that occasionally climbs, mostly when younger.
Good luck, |
