Snakes are good swimmers.

Why would you want to do this in the first place?

The answer is that he/she would probably drown, although they are good swimmers, it doesn't take long for them to tire out enough for them to drown.

make sure the water isnt too warm it will relax the snakes bowls and you will have a floater on ure hands.

my bps enjoy swimming. I often bathe them if they get feces on them ( no one likes a stinky snake!!!) or if they are getting ready to shed. Of course i always watch them and make sure the water is lukewarm not hot or cold (the same temp a baby bottle should be)
Also don't fill the tub to deep an inch or two should be fine
Good luck,
