Wash TIme :)

So, I had to help my leo shed for the first time. At first, he didn't totally like the water, but i made sure he didn't climb out and he didn't really resist. So, I start taking off the remaining skin (it was like a complete belt of unconnected skin--and I could tell it was bugging him and I felt so bad!) and he actually seemed to enjoy it!! He just sat there and he even closed his eyes (sooo adorable). He even made a little noise--it wasn't a scared noise, I don't think, it was more of like a content noise!

What I was just curious about was do some leos actually enjoy baths? Or did he magically know that I was getting the irritating skin off of him?

Plenty of leos enjoy sitting in their moist hides, or their water dishes if you forget to keep the moist hide moist during a shed. :laugh: If the skin was coming off more or less smoothly, I don't imagine it would be less comfortable than if the leo were completing the shed by itself - but without all the work! :tongue3:

Once they get over the shock and realize it feels good, they don't seem to mind. If they get accustomed to daily baths it relaxes them like for administering meds n stuff. I have a desert lizard that has learned to love baths.
