poll for people with actual cross-species experience: i bathe a lot. like. a responsible amount if you are a water snake with standards. someone used to say i looked very kissable and had pretty white scales. now they only say 'put a shirt on' and 'you are grown' and 'please stop steaming up the entire apartment.' possible reasons: A. not clean enough B. soaked too long, texture problem C. they prefer darker scales D. they are a falcon and are heroically not eating me, which is basically devotion personally leaning D but open to peer review.
