How often should I bathe a baby ? I am getting an 8 week old dragon this weekend. We plan to leave him adjust in his tank for a week before we handle him. Should he then he bathed once a week? Or more or less when shedding ?

My only experience is with an adult Beardy who had special needs so we had to do daily baths for the majority of the time we had him

I would not bath him unless you absolutely haft to--- you can wash or rinse his salads before serving and he will get moisture from there also spraying or dripping water on his nose - bathing is just gonna stress him out more -- he will need salads every morning - you want him eating those salads right away or at least some -- put your hands in the tank as much as you can and try hand feeding him -- hes gonna go thru relocation stress so his eating will be good at first then slow - he should not completely quit eating tho ---

No age- it stresses them out alot- I have had blaze since he was around 2-3 months he will be a year this weekend he has not had a bath yet-- I spray him when he has the crackly dry shed then take a baby toothbrush and brush loosening the wet shed -

I guess it can but spraying is just as good - I leave mine alone till it gets to that dry crackling sound then spray him down then take the soft baby toothbrush to him + I just did that this morning-- he got a back scratching - when they are little it really stressed them out

Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
I miss you so much, Amaris 💔
