How does everyone bath their sulcata tortoises

Water temp?

Do you use a shell conditioner afterwards?

Drying?

Do you use a brush or wash cloth?

Things to look out for while bathing?

thanks

What I do is:

pedicure
manicure
mud bath
steam room
(since there is no hair, I save at the salon)
massage
aromatherapy

and when they are all done, I oil them down in essence of kiwi fruit and wildflowers.

What about anyone else?

I know spas that would charge an arm and a leg!!! WOW- I just let the water run intil cozy warm, fill an empty clean butter tub, level= below chin. Place lil'tort w/in- go clean the dishes- return and rip a paper towel to wrap and dry- place lil tort in enclosure, let him do the rest. He usually goes straight to food dish and chows. Then I remove the paper towel! AROMATHERAPY!!! VERY POSH!!!

When my tortoises are behaving, I do make sure they get an exfoliating grape seed extract to clean their pores leaving them rejuvinated and fresh. I make sure their greens are completely organic and as an added treat offer them a wheat grass shot in their veggie smoothie.
