Can you give a bearded dragon a bath? sometimes mine crawls across his poo before i can clean it up and he stinks. what would be safe that i could wash him with

you can wash dragon in baths, A mild non perfumed soap and a soft used toothbrush is all you need. the brush is to help scratch off any dirt.

I also use soap. First I fill the sink or whatever I'm using with lukewarm water. They soak, drink, whatever. Right at the end I put a little Ivory pure soap on a soft toothbrush and clean any dirty areas. Since they've already soaked, I'm not worried about them drinking the soapy water. I rinse them really well, keep the soap out of the eyes and nose, and towel them off.

Mine likes to do that too. His favorite poo spot is his basking area.

To clean him up I just put him in the bathtub and use a tooth brush (once he's been in there for a bit and had a chance to soak) to remove the fecal matter. I have never used soap on him.

I never use soap either. There is often water drinking in the bath. Mine love the soft toothbrush.
