The book I bought doesn't say much on this so I was curious if others do this.
Does anyone give their Leo's a bath once in a while? I gave Melly one once when she was shedding, though she seems to do well on her own without my help. If you guys do give baths, what sort of methods do you use and such. Speaking of baths, my Beardie needs one before he goes to the Vet .

all you need to do isa keep it humid in the hide(s) and if you want mist them with a sprayer. but they seem to not find water very blissfull and attractive. often running far far away into a hide. so i would say just let nature do her thing and just let your leo take care of its shed instinctively. cause they have an inborn information on how to shed and therefore grow up healthy and self dependent. if she ever has problems with a no reach zone they usually use their surroundings to assist in their dilema.just remember if time passes and everso often shed goes between her nails or toes to gently take it off.

from one leo to the other i assist you,
iRon
