Go for a swim?

Is it okay to allow my boas and pythons to have a leisurely swim in my tub? If so, when would be the appropiate times?

I'm not sure I want popular opinion on my side -- I've noticed those with the most opinions often have the fewest facts.

Lukewarm water is best, depending on the size of your snakes only a few inches deep. Just let them slosh around for a little while and it's good for their skin (especially if they're having shed problems).
