I have a 3 year old otherwise healthy dragon but he has a nasty habit of dragging his tail and feet through his poop. When i give him a bath I use a toothbrush and clean all the poop off him but somehow he still smells like poop. Once he’s been out of the bath for a while he smells like nothing but any time he gets a wet for any reason he smells like poop again. I don’t want to be TOO abrasive cleaning him but is there anything I can do to make him less stinky or is he fine? It doesn’t really bother me that he occasionally stinks but i don’t want him to be dirty all the time.

If the warm bath and scrubbing alone isn't helping, try adding a little bit of a mild soap. I like dr bronner's baby mild which had no scent or harshness to it. If some time in the soapy water doesn't help, you can go as far as adding a bit of betadine to the bath to kill the bacteria causing the smell. I wouldn't go this far unless it is really necessary though. Do be sure he doesn't ingest any of the bath water if you add anything to it.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
