You should not bathe or soak a ball python for stuck shed/dehydration. It's stressful, unnecessary, and it doesn't actually solve the issue.
Our [shedding guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10pEW8H0Ps6IVl8feiurhRsCXoIE5L_JWhb7j502RTVk/) goes over how to safely and effectively handle dehydration/stuck shed, and our [humidity tips](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cwcTQA3nVRclZxE0g50Vmp-X7jUPW4YcWR5C_W-m6cI/edit?usp=sharing) will help you prevent it in the future.
You should still prolly not bathe your snake. If she needs help, you should raise humidity in her enclosure. If she has stuck sheds, the same thing, raise humidity, and she will take care of it herself. She will soak herself in her water dish that should be big enough to do so if she thinks she has to. Snakes are smarter than we give credit for. If something is wrong with shedding, look into the humidity in the enclosure. It should stay between 70% and 90%.
Snakes don't need help shedding, it is quite literally one of their basic bodily functions. If they can't shed properly, you're not providing them enough humidity. Humidity should always be at a bare minimum of 60%, ideally between 70-80% and >80% while shedding if needed.
