Applying cocoa butter at night/basking in morning?

[KristineM]

I've read that I can apply the 100% cocoa butter for a horrible shed and it works wonders. I've also read to do it at "lights out" to prevent burns. When lights do go on in the morning is basking ok by that time? Or does it have to be washed off first? Sorry if this sounds like a ridiculous question but I want to help his shed not run any risk of burning him. There's no way I can bathe him first thing in the morning...2 kids off to school and myself off to work. The best I can do is get temps right, prepare veggies and his first live feeding before heading out. He would only be basking from 6:45am until 10:30 am before he can get a bath.

Anyone with experience, please chime in? As you can see I searched and searched first but didn't find anything specific to my question.

Thanks AGAIN!!

I would message Drache613 (tracie) she is a monitor on here and knows a lot. She might know.

Thank you. I will send her a message. I made time to bathe him quickly before basking but last night I didn't put it on him because I still wasn't sure about the lights in the morning.

Thanks!!
