I put mine in about 15mm deep, or upto his legs, i used warm water. I kept topping water up with warm water and he was in for approx 30mins seemed to like it.

I let the water cover the nail on my pinkie finger. I'm a guy, so that equates to about a quarter inch. This also needs to be relative to the size of your leopard, as a juvie might be too small. As for temp, the pinkie dip is perfect. Warm, but not hot. If your finger can rest in there, so should the gecko be able to.

Another thing of note is to not bath the gecko without attending it, as it could drown.

What I did was find the longest Tupperware I could and use that, as the small ones tend to get climbed out of rapidly.

Cheers!

Excellent news! The toe shed is a nightmare.

Toe sheds can be a big pain. I usually bath them in water at 90 degrees and up to their belly.
