Bathing

marcelpb Feb 20, 2007 06:29 PM

I would like to know what people think about bathing a beardie.
Mine has four months and I never bath him. I just mist him about every other day and more frequently when he is shedding.
After all in his natural habitat is unlikely to a beardie look for or find a pond. In fact, I think they can count only with their food or an occasional rain to get humidity...

You may bathe in luke warm water for about 30 min each shot! I wouldn't suggest bathing to often as for it can dry out there skin. Although it is very beneficial to do it when about to shed or just if you want you can bathe 1 a month on a set schedule so you know he's getting proper water intake and is not getting dehydrated!

I have to bath mine like every other day cause he'll only poop in water. He loves it, and he swims like a serpent. He'll even duck his head under the water and swim. I got a nice big under the bed storage tub to bath him in. He likes it better in water to poop, more support, haha. I definatly know it keeps him clean as a whislte and smellin like a rose, cause I smelled some stinky lizards before P U.
