Just gave my beardie a bath for the first time this weekend, and he's 2 years old. Until I came to the forum, I had never even heard of bathing them!



I didn't try it, however, to get rid of any smells. Neither my beardie or his tank have never had an odor issue. I tried it to help him shed and to increase his hydration since he won't drink water from a dish.



Just like any animal, in the wild they would obviously not receive regular scrubs...but it's a different life as pets! I think it's a benefit. What animal wouldn't want to be clean?
