Shedding?
My sister got a bp today named Cleopatra, and said I could play with it whenever I wanted. It’s shedding and she heard something about putting it in warm water. How long and when would I do that?

You only need to put it in water if it is having trouble shedding. If the humidity in the cage is high and the temperatures are correct, then there is no need for a bath. Misting the cage with a spray bottle of water would be much less stressful for the snake.
If the snake is having trouble, then it should need no more than 10 minutes in a luke warm bath then use a wet cloth and rub the stuck pieces of shed to try to remove them. If they don’t come off, try again in a couple of days.
Good luck!
