I have just a quick question for you guys: has anyone ever tried putting some gatorade in a bath for your lizards before? i read somewhere that it rehydrates them the same as it does for us. i tried it on my basilisk and he loved it! he seemed rejuvenated and full of pep. is it from the gatorade i wonder? or just the fact he had a warm bath?

I know gatorade has sugar in it, so i don't know if that's a good idea...

When I had to take my female basilisk to the vet cause she was sick, the vet actually told me to give her gatorade baths 
She said they absorb the electrolytes thru thier.. uh... rear 
I didn't actually use gatorade, instead I got an electrolyte supplement that you can buy to put into the water. I still use the supplement now, tho in a lesser quantity than before.
The vet said the only downside of gatorade was watching what color you got so you didn't "stain" your lizard's skin lol.
