Ummm... why are they in water? Geckos can drown very easily and I'm having flash backs to the guy who came here asking how to give his gecko a bath because it wasn't co-operating. High moisture hides or boxes for stuck shed is fine, but straight liquid besides a shallow drinking bowl is concerning.

Got that right sleepy- leos do not swim, why are they in the tub? As for morph, you have a hypo and a paternless.

They were in a tepid shallow water bath because we just got back from vacation and there was no poop in the tank ( we were gone for a week and had a pet sitter feeding them) My vet recommended a warm water soak to move things along- and it worked.

I don't usually allow them swim time :D

Ah, that's really different then, glad it worked, but your water was a bit deep so you can understand my concern. Usually we see suggestions of several layers of very soaked paper towels or at most a bath only coming halfway up the side of their bellies. Just for safety reasons. That one poor gecko looks like it is trying to doggy paddle!

Maybe some of those inflatable arm things next time? A little boat? At least a rubber ducky! Haha, ok, I'll stop, "swim time" just made me laugh.

(Didn't know I needed confirmation of my posts now after all these years, but ok.)
