Can ball pythons swim

Answer 1

no

I beg to differ!

ballpythons can swim pretty well.

They are not meant to be in the water like water snakes. if they were put into the middle of a lake they would most likely not make it back to shore, but if they are in VERY shallow water and can see the land & that land isn't too far away, they could probably make it.

Ball Pythons will roll into a ball and when you drop them into the water they will sink to the bottom and then they CANT get back to the surface.... common sense ppl.

^^^ The above comment is correct to an extent. Yes, you can let your Ball Python swim, it's actually very good for them as it helps them shed. However, make sure the water is lukewarm and shallow enough for the snake to keeps it head above the water. It's better to put the water in a basin, and put a book or something under one side so that half the basin has water and half does not, this way the snake will choose how much it wants to bathe and has dry land if it needs to get away from the water.
