I know that my Black Throat doesn't require soaking but it does help with his shed. Their natural environment is seasonally arid or quite wet in the rainy season. I mist his cage daily by the way.
He enjoys the heck out his soak as well. I stay in the bathroom with him 100% of the time. The water is kept in the high 80's by adding either hot or cold water occasionally.
I have rubber bath mats in the tub and one hung over the side so he can get out whenever he wants to or back in. I usually feed him a bit in the bathroom as well.
After his warm bath and a snack, he wanders around and usually climbs into my lap or up onto my chest.
The whole bath routine is great as far as I am concerned. He is healthy, active and likes the bath and while it isn't required, I don't see the problem with it.
