How do i set up a ball python bath tub?

My mom won't let me use the bath tub so i need suggestions on a bath tub for a ball python it's like a year and 1/2 years old. i don't have him yet but im getting him in 3 weeksHow do i set up a ball python bath tub?
U know you dont need to bath a ball python unless it has shedding issues? if not why not just use a normal large plastic tubHow do i set up a ball python bath tub?
it's true you don't have to but it is a healthy for the snake because they usually go to the bathroom during baths and it helps keep their intestinal tract clear also its an easy way to see if the snake has mites. as far as setting a bath you can get a plastic container that isn't too big for the snake the containers with shouldn't be wider than the snake is long, that way it can support itself. also do not make it so the snake can not touch the bottom and the temp should be right around the 80-85 area.
Just like J C said, you do not need a bath tub. We just use a normal plastic tub with holes in the lid. Whenever you do it make sure that the water is deep enough to cover the snake but not too deep and luke warm water. Hope this helps good luck!
