Hi,
I'm here looking for advice, I have a baby leopard gecko who was found in a warehouse in Canada, he got stuck in an extremely sticky oil, and I'm not sure how to clean him up. The usual way to remove it is rubbing alcohol, but I'm worried that would hurt his skin. Dawn dish soap has also been suggested but I'm not sure if that's safe either. If anyone has a reccomendation for how I could clean him that would be awesome. He's such a sweet little guy and I want to help him.
Thanks!
- Jaeden

I would get a paper towel wet and add a mild (no fragrance) liquid soap. Sponge him off and expect to go through a bunch of towels. Switch to a new towel as soon as the one you're using gets gunky.
