Hey! I wanted to share my Chinese Water Dragon enclosure, forgot to mention in the imgur file, i am running 3 T5 Arcadia Uv lamps 14% over the basking sites and 12% over the water zone. I have 2 heat lamps, one Arcadia 100w basking flood and an Arcadia 50w deep heat projector. Both are in the...

I visited a reptile sanctuary a few months back and in one of the Boa enclosures there was a tub/rub partially filled with water and the Boa was bathing inside it. Would it be a good idea to do this in my Boas vivarium? bit of background on the Boa, ill have him in a 4.5ft X 2 X 2 enclosure...

Today we've had to give Slinky his first bath. He was not happy at all :(. It looked like he was panicking when we put him in the water, so we only left him in for a minute or so. We'd added some oil to the water, and we seem to have got the left over shed off him, but I hope we don't have to do...

Got a new corn snake home on saturday and placed him in his viv. Wanted to leave him alone for a couple of weeks so he could settle in but noticed some retained shed on his tail. Should I disturb him and give him a bath or continue to leave him and hope this clears on its own? Sorry if the...

My new pacman frog had he/shes first honey bath today and boy was it a success:lol2: when i was first reading up on these guys me and basicy everyone i know was like eerr what in the name will a rub full of warm water with honey do? :blush:Lets just say having the frog for almost three weeks now...

evening peeps! My burmese python is having a really bad shed, as his usual extra large water bowl is being soaked in disinfectant as he too a dump in it, and I didn't think to mist the enclosure to compensate for the humidity. So I decided to give him a bath, and my partner heard a lot of...

Have a longstanding health issue with current bearded dragon that is becoming difficult to diagnose. Recently bloods were done and albumin was high (37, 25-35 range) and likely due to dehydration. He doesn't drink from standing/dripping/rippling/flowing/any type of water, so he doesn't have a...

Has only got any pictures of plasterers bath, or laguna tubs or similar setups used for muds/musks. Do people use these for adults year round?

Hi, I was just thinking that when I was reading up on snakes before I got Rocco my corn a lot of places say they love to bathe in their water bowls. I have never seen Rocco in his water bowl however I have seen him drinking out of it a fair amount. Do any of your snakes bathe, if so for how...

UNTIL....... I honestly thought farting in the bath was bad but making this mess just takes the biscuit.

This is a pretty odd question I know but... I bought myself a lovely little CB13 hognose fella just before christmas. He went into blue a bit over a week ago and shed 2 days ago - he got most of it off himself but still had a bit left on his tail so I gave him a little soak to get rid of it. He...

Can anyone recommend a shampoo to use when bathing a Sphynx? Thanks,

Currently taking preorders for multis, as I have around 50 in the nest with more on their way! Can set up unrelated breeding groups no problems. These will be ready in about 4-5 weeks time and I should have a fairly constant supply from then on. What I've found from my adults is that these...

My male leopard gecko (Max) has been constipated for just over a week, so every day I've given him a shallow warm 'bath' to help. Yesterday we had a breakthrough and Max was able to pass a small amount of excrement but something else came out and I'm not entirely sure what it was. The only way...

My male beardie is 3 years old and yesterday when I got him out to bath him I noticed a circular mark on his back. It was quite dark in colour and looked hollowed out like a little crater. I bathed him and applied a couple of drops of tamodene. Does anyone know what this might be and whether I...

I want to make sure my Gecko isn't bunged up from the previous owner feeding predominately mealworm and for the fact that I cannot get the viv hot enough (currently running around 70-75) which I intend to buy heat lamp to aid my heatmat and that should ensure he can pass food successfully. As I...

My year-old dragon has never had a water bowl, just the odd bath. Today I decided to give her a water supply for a while and see how it went. I purchased a large corner litter tray, for rodents, and she loved it, she lay in it for well over half an hour, at one point submerging her head and...

As title really if you bath your beardie how long do you leave them for? Ive been leaving them for about 5mins. One swims around and the other just sits still, I put them in separately. I've also been dipping their head under (2secs).. What are the benefits of bathing other than rehydration...

It was bath time last weekend for my royals, and one of them dived in head first and seem to intake some water. He was straight up and caughing (A bit like a cat with a fur ball stuck in its throat) Anyhow, 2 days on, and he is now making farting noises (from his mouth) and sneezing quite a...

I had to bath him again as his vent was red and his rear end was swollen and has been for a few days. I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do to help him go himself? He's fed a rat fuzzy once a week and always has fresh water etc. His temps are 31.5-32 in the warm end and 27 in the...
