do you bathe / soak your leos?

[GeckoNub]

Ive bathed them before for stuck feet shed or a warm soak if they havent pooped in a few days but normally there's no need to.

I wouldnt do it very deep and keep them monitored. All mine seem to do is either flap around trying to get out or just sit there and have a drink now and then

My leo is terrified of water

My leo loves a bath every now and again. I just put him in warm shallow water when he looks like he is about to shed. Makes shedding so easy for him. The water fascinates him.

lol.. I love this poll. Kay-- now I'm gonna sound like a loon--- My feeding sched. is m,w,f and s they get pinks or waxies.... so on thurs and Sunday... I soak them.. Not a bath like rub-a-dub-dub soap and what not... but they get soaked and cleaned and picked free of any left over pesky skin on the head ect.... They freak for a second.. then the splay out and close thier eyes.. I think they like it... Helps to keep them nice and pretty!

I don't "bathe" them, but if a hatchling has issues getting stuck shed of its toes, I put it in shallow lukewarm water that just covers the feet, and rub them off with a wet q-tip. I don't bathe my cat, either!

I only have once, and that was because one of mine hadn't gone to the bathroom for a few days, but other then that I wouldn't do it, unless there's shedding issues, as many other people have said.

My geckos have shallow water dishes that they could walk through if they wanted a bath. But I'm not counting on that happening.

Mine have a paddle when Im busy cleaning them out, supervised by an appropriate adult of course! They love it, I ensure they are properly dried off though.

For the past two sheds since I had him, my leo had perfect sheds so I haven't felt the need to try soaking. His humid hide is all he really needs~!
