I don't know if this is a stupid question but why do the uro's poop when they are in water?When I had my iguana he used to always go in his water dish,I'm just curious as to why this is?

Pooing while soaking?

My guess would be that the water makes it easier to defecate, by loosening up the feces. My uro got impacted after brumation, and would not poop for quite a while. When he was soaking it allowed him to poop, I assume because of the softening of the feces.

I was wondering if the pressure change had something to do with it or you know how when we are in water you feel much lighter maybe that could have something to do with it or maybe these are the same thing?
