1. Why is your friend giving his BP a bath? Snakes almost never need a bath, and if they decide they do, they can give themselves a bath if you have provided a water bowl big enough for it to soak in.
2. Your hand cannot "measure" temperature accurately enough to ensure the temp of the water is appropriate for a snake. You can easily be 5-10 degrees off in a guesstimate made by using your hand. And in fact, if the water felt neither too warm nor too cold to your hand, then it
definitely was too warm for your snake. Your body temperature is about 98.6 deg F. That is
HOT to a BP. You were likely burning him.
3. The toilet paper roll & your pics give us an idea of the height of your snake's body, but not of his
width, which is measured from his left side to his right side. If you could take a picture from above him, we could get a better idea of his girth. However, his skin does appear to be a bit loose.
4. What is his genotype?
