warm water bath.?

lumo Jun 20, 2003 05:43 PM

how do i go about giving my leo a warmwater bath, should the water be just luke warm? also how deep should the water be?

i just looked at my leo's underside (the sick leo from the post further down) and i have noticed that through her skin you can see a sort of blacky brown colored line which is quite thickish. could this possibly be impaction which would explain her not eating or defecating?
could this be the bed-a-beast from her moist hide?

if so what do i do?

sorry for been such a pain..

this could be an impaction. try taking it to the vet for some x-rays. that can tell you.
