im wondering how often and at what temp. i should bath my uros

Warm water.

Think of it like this: your uro is a "baby". What you want to remember is this: if your uro was a human baby, you'd bathe him/her in warm water that is not too hot and not too cold.

I bathe mine about 2 times a month if that. They don't really love the water but sometimes they need it.

2 mali uro's-Ares and Apollo
2 saharan uro's-Orion and Iris
2 bearded dragon-Hades and Draco
1 leo gecko-Kalypso
1 tokaye gecko-Sid Vicious
1 tarantula-Peter Parker
1 dog-cheeka
1 zebra finch-beeps
1 african gray parrot-keya
1 red headed parrot-pancho
And some fish

Keep in mind though, that your "baby" has no control over its own body temperature. The water should be very warm, but not hot - if it burns you, it will burn them. Try also to not shock their systems. They shouldn't be put into a warm bath if they aren't already warm. And dry off the tail thoroughly before returning them to the tank.

I don't soak mine often - only if they are having difficulty shedding.

You really do not want to do a lot of soaking of Uro's, but in the event you do... Uro's tolerate very high temperatures. I believe it was Dr. Dix that said if you can put your hand in it they can tolerate it. To get a definite answer read through the care pages available on the internet. Try to find things by Doug Dix or Linsay Pike.
