Allow the snake to soak in the water for no more than three to four minutes. [substeps] Try not to keep your snake submerged too much or you may damage its scales. Float the snake on top of the water for a few minutes. You should not place the snake in the water for more than two or three minutes, or the snake could drown. Allow it to soak for around 10 minutes. [substeps] If you happen to have some soap on hand, you can use it instead of using your gloves. Let it soak for at least 15 to 20 minutes. For especially dirty or oily snakes, give it 30 to 40 minutes.
