Is there any reason you are trying to put him in the water?

I'm not scared of water, but when someone forcefully puts me into it, I spaz too. Doesn't mean I'm scared of water.

Re: ...
Most snakes get stressed out by baths unless it is their idea. Try putting your snake in a rubbermaid or similar of wet towels instead, may be a bit easier. Get the humidity fixed up so you don't have any more problems in the future.

My BCI's don't swim, but they do put their faces in the water and blow bubbles!

If I didn't make a joke of some of the things that people do to their animals around here, I'd go mental.
