I wouldn't try a bath until they are comfortable with their new home and with handling. The bath isn't really necessary unless they get soiled and need to be cleaned up. Some dragons love baths and others hate them. Once you do try a bath, watch for behavior that shows signs of panic or distress that would indicate they don't like the bath. If that's the case, it's not worth the stress and I would limit baths to only when really necessary due to soiled skin/bad smell. If they seem to enjoy the bath and splash around and swim (they are generally very good swimmers) then offer as many baths as you'd like. It really varies between dragons on that one.

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.

i feel so sad reading your about me 😢
Clapton is acclimating okay I think. He's quick as lightning so I'm not sure how much I should bring him out of his house yet. He's not at all interested in his salad though. I wonder if I should change what I'm giving him. Least he's eating his crickets.

Things to do:
Buy calcium powder
Material to raise surface for basking spot
Scenery decals for back of tank
Taking my beardie for a walk
