I fed my adult every 2-3 weeks depending on activity. Max every 2 weeks at adult age though. After a certain age mine seemed to slow down interest in food to every 3 weeks though before becoming active and acting hungry again.

My ball python doesn't minf when I give her a bath, But she is constantly in he big water bowl just, well idk what she is thinking, maybe she thinks its a pool lol. But when they shed its always good to soak in a tub for about 20min. I put mine in a bath tub with a little water, so its not swiming but is coverd in the water to soak.

Check the water for mites...sometimes snakes just soak because they want to, other times it is parasite they are trying to soak off..Look for little crawling things around the face usually, also check for them in water after good soak..

Constant soaking isn't good as it can cause scale rot. And like Amcnwmn said - check for mites - or maybe the heat is a little on the hot side. Also they sometimes use a water bowl as a hide - their eyesight isn't good so if it feels snugger than their other hides they can tend to use that - but not good to be constantly in water. But check for mites first - they're often difficult to spot.
